Buildkite-agent oidc w/ build_creator claim

Features Requests

Hey @ghthorvx

Thanks for using the community forum and raising this feature request with reasoning for it.

One thing we’d like to note about using Build Creator in general is that it is fungible, and we would discourage people from relying on that information that is fungible. Additionally, it is inferred in some cases (e.g., when GitHub doesn’t tell us in the webhook). For instance, the following can happen:

  • Author and committer differ (merge queues)
  • Commit author and Pull Request author differ
  • Author doesn’t exist as a Buildkite User

We can see this was also raised by another user here - OIDC Build Creator Claim - and has already been raised with our Product Team, yet we cannot share any information on if or when it may be implemented. But we will add that you would also like it.

Thanks,

Tom
