I’m just testing Okteto with a very simple sample app. I configured a Github action as described in the docs. I created a token and set it as a secret in GH. When I create a PR the action runs but gives me an error that `You are not authorized to create a global preview env Please log in with an administrator account or use a personal preview environment`

I am the Admin, I created the Okteto account. I assumed personal tokens I create would have admin privileges. What am I missing?

Hi @crempp ,

Where are you testing it? using our public service [cloud.okteto.com](http://cloud.okteto.com) or your own instance? You need to be the admin of the Okteto instance to able able to have admin privileges and be able to create global preview environments.
