Allow users to add bots to an allowlist to avoid being blocked as an unregistered user

planned

Eric Larson

This feature request is to create an allowlist for users to add automated code updating tools and bot users (such as dependabot) to work while utilizing the

Prevent unregistered user spend

toggle.

Two use cases to look at for this:

PRs opened by Github Dependabot
PRs opened by Github Copilot

Both of those aren't real users but github apps. They do not have identities, and if so they would be out of our control, so we wouldn't be able to add them to our org.

This is being actively worked on. The plan is to allow you to identify unregistered users in a list and then either invite them to your organization or convert them to a machine user with a specific role. If anyone has thoughts or feedback on this approach, please let me know.

Please get this done, thank you.

Hello CircleCI! I think this ticket has become more important with the latest CircleCI changes of billing any "unregistered" usage. Thanks!
