# Set default workflow permissions for an enterprise

`PUT /enterprises/{enterprise}/actions/permissions/workflow`

Sets the default workflow permissions granted to the `GITHUB_TOKEN` when running workflows in an enterprise, and sets
whether GitHub Actions can submit approving pull request reviews. For more information, see
"[Enforcing a policy for workflow permissions in your enterprise](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-server@3.8/admin/policies/enforcing-policies-for-your-enterprise/enforcing-policies-for-github-actions-in-your-enterprise#enforcing-a-policy-for-workflow-permissions-in-your-enterprise)."

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the `admin:enterprise` scope to use this endpoint.
