Cancelling workflow does not work with forks

[dkroenke]

Hi,
when trying to integrate the action into an open-source project i got the following log:

Found workflow_id: ["1234"]
Found 6 runs total.
Found 2 runs in progress.
Cancelling another run:  {
  id: 1234,
  head_sha: '1234',
  status: 'in_progress'
}
Error while cancelling workflow_id 1234: Resource not accessible by integration
Cancel Complete.

Background is that i try to integrate the action from a fork into the main repo. The action is not resulting into an error state.
It seems that the creator of the PR is not allowed to fetch the status of the workflows running in the main repo due to access restrictions. Is for forked projects maybe a solution available?

Hello. I am just passing by and noticed this issue, and I wonder if you could create your own secret token (https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets) on your fork and pass it to this action, instead of using the default token. 💭

Encountered this same error but under a slightly different circumstance, which used to work. I have the cancel action set up under pull_request event, and it used to cancel duplicate workflow in a PR opened from a fork. But as of 2021-01-26, that no longer seems to work; instead, I get this error. If you know of a workaround, please let me know. Thanks!
