How to set up github readonly access

Question

I have a private repo at github and the access is controlled by deployment ssh key pairs. Now I want to set up a read-only access for CI.

but still clueless.

Anybody can let me know how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

You may be looking for GitHub deploy keys. See answers to this question for more detail.

Doing this gives R/W permissions. Any way to grant read-only access? – user2777473 Oct 22 '13 at 14:17
@user2777473 currently I see no way to get a "read only" deploy key.. sounds like they do not currently exist on Github. – Erik May 27 '14 at 19:02

Go to https://github.com/organizations/<your organisation>/teams, there you can create a read-only access team for your repository.

The difficulty of finding this page surprises me every time I need it.

The repo is not an organization. and none of the team members has github accounts. :-( We are distributing SSH keys for the access. – user2777473 Oct 22 '13 at 14:18
