I am analyzing an open source project with it. The user should have access to run an analysis. However, I still get: ```auto 16:41:10.637 DEBUG: POST 403 https://sonarcloud.io/api/ce/submit?organization=rttrorg&projectKey=rttrorg_rttr&projectName=rttr&characteristic=pullRequest%3D315 | time=1141ms 16:41:10.659 INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:41:10.659 INFO: EXECUTION FAILURE 16:41:10.660 INFO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:41:10.660 INFO: Total time: 5:12.867s 16:41:10.725 INFO: Final Memory: 9M/34M ``` Github Job: [code-quality: add sonar source analysis · rttrorg/rttr@5a847b4 · GitHub](https://github.com/rttrorg/rttr/runs/3303105395?check_suite_focus=true) PR: [code-quality: add sonar source analysis by acki-m · Pull Request #315 · rttrorg/rttr · GitHub](https://github.com/rttrorg/rttr/pull/315/) What setting is missing? ---

Hi @acki , welcome to the community forum. Thanks for the links to the PR! I see you are trying to analyze the PR from a fork. This feature is currently not supported for CI-based analysis, only for automatic analysis. It’s already identified on our side, but not planned (some links to follow the progress are on [this other thread](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/how-to-use-sonarcloud-with-a-forked-repository-on-github/7363)). You can also vote on that issue: [SonarCloud analyzes external Pull Request - SonarCloud | Product Roadmap](https://portal.productboard.com/sonarsource/1-sonarcloud/c/50-sonarcloud-analyzes-external-pull-request) Claire ---

actually the analysis is not running on the fork, here you can see: [https://github.com/acki-m/rttr/actions](https://github.com/acki-m/rttr/actions) No `analyze with sonar source` action I also added a check whether the action is running on a fork: [https://github.com/rttrorg/rttr/pull/315/files#diff-9a3216554898843f8508e7d7f4e77d2bbd65b77ae944c56a55aa263c0c53af3bR18](https://github.com/rttrorg/rttr/pull/315/files#diff-9a3216554898843f8508e7d7f4e77d2bbd65b77ae944c56a55aa263c0c53af3bR18) So what should I do now? ---

@Claire_Villard Okay no when I create a PR from a branch inside the repo it works, sonar cube could upload the report. And really zero vulnerabilities? Can’t believe it. However, can you tell me how I can prevent this specific job running, when I got a PR from a fork? ---

TBH, I don’t know, this is related to Github workflows and not to SonarSource products, and I never tried that so I can’t help. I found that [forum post](https://github.community/t/have-github-action-only-run-on-master-repo-and-not-on-forks/140840/14) that gives solutions to a similar problem, maybe it could help. Claire
