I'm getting this error when trying to add a new private repo to an account I just made.

Error adding SSH key to GitHub repository: Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).

Info:
1. Created a new 'company' appveyor user/account.
2. Created a new GitHub user -> our CI/CD bot. It's only got READ permissions.
3. Auth'd GH with my company appveyor account.
4. Add project -> fail.

Now, i'm guessing this is related to some ADMIN issue with GH. So .. if it is .. is there any way I can avoid this by manually adding ssh keys or something? I don't really want to give the bot Admin access (even if it's a once off thing).

   Right, it requires admin rights to add SSH key to the repo.

   You can allow it doing that while adding a project. Then remove that right.

   That's the only way?

   Currently - yes. Looking forward we could check if there are enough permissions and skip that step if not; then show public SSH key and warning.
