Commits by anonymous account when importing Power Platform Solution using GitHub Actions

[sunilsbs]

Hi Team,

We have set up the CI CD for our power platform solutions with Jenkins and GitHub actions. When we are invoking github actions for pulling the solution in GitHub, solution is being committed with an unknown account which is not present in our organization. We confirmed that the solution pull commit is made with that unknown account only when we are pulling solution through Power Platform GitHub actions. The unknown account name is Renaat-CDX. Can you please help us identify this account and how and when GitHub Actions are using account when importing solution to repository.

Thanks.

Export solution action calls either ExportSolution or ExportSolutionAsync. It is not using any customer accounts or data besides solution name being exported

Hi Andrew, Thank you for the response. as per guidance from this link , We are using following two actions post export solution action.

1. In UnPack we are extracting the files from solution to store in github repo.
2. Branch solution, creating the branch for extracted files on unpack and making the commit.

Can you please help us with which github account it uses to run the Branch solution action and commit the branch?

- name: unpack-solution action
  uses: microsoft/powerplatform-actions/unpack-solution@latest
  with:
    solution-file: ${{ github.event.client_payload.solution_exported_folder}}/${{ github.event.client_payload.solution-name }}.zip
    solution-folder: ${{ github.event.client_payload.solution_folder}}/${{ github.event.client_payload.solution-name }}
    solution-type: 'Unmanaged'
    overwrite-files: true

- name: branch-solution, prepare it for a PullRequest
  uses: microsoft/powerplatform-actions/branch-solution@latest
  with:
    solution-folder: ${{ github.event.client_payload.solution_folder}}/${{ github.event.client_payload.solution-name }}
