I found this snippet on Docker Hub's Linked Account Settings: > Service user (or machine/bot account) suggested > Attaching your personal GitHub or Bitbucket account to this Docker Hub organization will allow other organization owners to create builds from your private repositories. We suggest using a service user (also referred to as a machine user or bot account). c.f.: https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/automated-build/#service-users-for-team-autobuilds https://docs.docker.com/docker-cloud/builds/automated-build/... Seems worthwhile to do this, if you're an enterprise or otherwise have sensitive private repos. But I agree that it would be better to have an easier per-repo authorization system, since many users won't bother going through the hassle of setting up a service account.
