My company is going to be installing this action once per organization in order to get submodules to work. I would really like to be able to point them to https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token for the documentation, but step 1 is not very clear and I am worried that people will get confused about what permissions to request.

Option 2 would be to follow the example of GitHub ARC in https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/blob/master/docs/authenticating-to-the-github-api.md which actually provides two useful links that prepopulate various settings:

Using GitHub ARC, it was really cool to be able to click one link and have it prepopulate the settings that it thinks I'll need.
