Onboarding browser extension for rest API interaction
Post Body

Is the following possible?

As a GitHub enterprise user, I would like to use a custom browser extension that I've developed to make requests to GitHub's rest API for repositories in the organization I'm a part of.

I would like to open this browser extension for others in the organization to use.

Currently I'm able to use this extension personally as I've generated an access token for myself.

How could I reduce onboarding to use this extension so other engineers would not need to generate personal access tokens themselves?

I've looked authenticating as GitHub app and oauth, but I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is feasible through those means.

For example, can I generate an access token for a GitHub app, and allow users to utilize the access token to consume GitHub apis via browser extension? Then I could utilize this token as part of the onboarding process for new users.
