Explanation

The minimum repository permission required to download (view and download) workflow artifacts is Read access. GitHub Actions artifact downloads are a read-only operation, so no elevated permissions like Write, Maintain, or Admin are necessary. Triage permission allows managing issues and pull requests but does not grant the ability to download workflow artifacts. Read is therefore the lowest sufficient permission level.
