Trying to signup for Deno Deploy, it asks for the 'Act on your behalf' github permission to make an account.

Clicking on 'Learn more about Deno Deploy' leads to https://github.com/apps/deno-deploy , which does not tell me more.

I believe it's a very poorly written description in the newer GitHub App permission system. My understanding it describes something akin to "can act on your behalf, but only in the scope of what other permissions are being requested" but it's overall very unclear wording.
