Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to manually provide the user that triggered the GH Actions workflow run.

Currently the person that created the API key is attributed to the workflow run. I can see in the code that the x-attribution-actor-id header is being set but according to this that only works on your internal tools. I mention that because I considered using curl to trigger the workflow runs.

Teachability, documentation, adoption, migration strategy

Ideally would be an additional input that would provide us some flexibility on setting this value (possible for workflows to be triggered by bots) but would happy with it pulling the username from the github context.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Currently all the workflow runs that are triggered show as the person that generated the API key which is is confusing and doesn't look great for us when other teams use the tool.

this would be very useful for us as well my team members are using filters: "My Pipelines" in the circleci dashboard and it's missing the workflows triggered from GHA

Was coming here to investigate this as well, as we are trying to transition to GitHub Actions to support Merge Queues. This is one of two big subtractions of existing functionality with the direct integration (commit messages no longer showing up is the other).
