title: New scopes for managing repository hooks

created_at: 2014-02-10

Many third party services need to set up [hooks][] in order to act upon events

in your repositories. Today, we've introduced three new [scopes][] that provide

more granular access to your repository hooks without allowing access to your

repository contents:

* `read:repo_hook` grants read and ping access to hooks in public or private repositories.

* `write:repo_hook` grants read, write, and ping access to hooks in public or private repositories.

* `admin:repo_hook` grants read, write, ping, and delete access to hooks in public or private repositories.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback [get in touch][contact].
