Custom repository role creation APIs are now available in public beta

Custom repository roles enable Enterprise organization administrators to define and assign least-privilege roles for their repositories, beyond the standard Read, Triage, Write, Maintain, and Admin roles.

Now, REST API endpoints to create and update custom repository roles are available in a public beta for GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers. These new endpoints build on the existing custom repository role APIs that allow assignment of those roles to a team or user. The endpoints accept PATs from organization admins, as well as calls from properly authorized OAuth and GitHub apps.

These REST APIs will be supported in GitHub Enterprise Server 3.8, after they reach general availability in GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
