A user with "Write" permissions in a GitHub repository is an active contributor. This role grants the ability to push commits to any non-protected branch, manage pull requests, and manage issues and labels. It is the standard permission level for developers who need to contribute code directly to the repository but should not have administrative control over critical repository settings or its existence.

A. Managing repository settings like GitHub Pages requires "Admin" permissions, as it alters how the repository is published and presented.

C. Configuring branch protection rules is a critical administrative function to enforce workflows and prevent unwanted changes, requiring "Admin" permissions.

D. Deleting a repository is a destructive and irreversible action that is strictly limited to users with "Admin" permissions.
