      Issue Summary

      The customer reported that the ability to edit files via the UI in a public repository is no longer available. The "Edit" button is disabled, displaying a "You do not have permission" error message. Previously, this was not an issue, as public repositories were considered read-access, allowing any logged-in user to edit files. This process would create a fork, enabling users to commit changes and raise a pull request for merging automatically.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to any public repository
      2. Open any source files and the edit button is disable

      Expected Results

      Edit button is not disabled

      Actual Results

      The edit button is disabled and shows error "You do not have permission"

      Workaround

      Manually forked the repository and make changes then create a PR to the upstream repo for a merge.
