## Org team approver
If you want to have `approvers` set to an org team, then you need to take a different approach. The default [GitHub Actions automatic token](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#permissions-for-the-github_token) does not have the necessary permissions to list out team members. If you would like to use this then you need to generate a token from a GitHub App with the correct set of permissions.
Create a GitHub App with **read-only access to organization members**. Once the app is created, add a repo secret with the app ID. In the GitHub App settings, generate a private key and add that as a secret in the repo as well. You can get the app token by using the [`tibdex/github-app-token`](https://github.com/tibdex/github-app-token) GitHub Action:
```yaml
jobs:
myjob:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Generate token
id: generate_token
uses: tibdex/github-app-token@v1
with:
app_id: ${{ secrets.APP_ID }}
private_key: ${{ secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
- name: Wait for approval
uses: trstringer/manual-approval@v1.6.0-rc.2
with:
secret: ${{ steps.generate_token.outputs.token }}
approvers: myteam
minimum-approvals: 1
```
## Timeout
If you'd like to force a timeout of your workflow pause, you can specify `timeout-minutes` at either the [step](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepstimeout-minutes) level or the [job](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idtimeout-minutes) level.
