Collaborators on a personal repository can pull (read) the contents of the repository and push (write) changes to the repository.
Collaborators on a personal repository can be granted one of three access levels: read, write, or admin. The triage and maintain roles are only available on repositories owned by an organization.

> [!NOTE]
> In a private repository, repository owners can only grant write access to collaborators. Collaborators can't have read-only access to repositories owned by a personal account.
> The triage and maintain roles are not available for repositories owned by a personal account. If you need those roles, or team-based access management, consider transferring the repository to an organization.

Collaborators can also perform the following actions.
