Error messages when removing a self-hosted runner

Describe the bug When removing a self-hosted runner, I get the following error messages:

ldd: ./bin/libSystem.Security.Cryptography.Native.OpenSsl.so: No such file or directory
ldd: ./bin/libSystem.IO.Compression.Native.so: No such file or directory
# Runner removal
√ Runner removed successfully
√ Removed .credentials
√ Removed .runner
An error occurred: Access denied. System:ServiceIdentity;DDDDDDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDDDDDDDDDD needs View permissions to perform the action.

The removal seems to succeed though, as refreshing the page removes the self-hosted runner from the list.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Get the removal line from “Settings” tab of the repository, then “Actions” tab, then the three-dot menu next to the self-hosted runner name, and “Remove”
2. Run the removal line ./config.sh remove --token XXX
3. See error

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Runner Version and Platform

Version of your runner? Sorry I forgot to check, but in both cases they were downloaded from the official download links as given out in “Add runner”

OS of the machine running the runner? Linux x86_64. This has happened twice: with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS and CentOS 8.

Any update on this issue? I’m facing this issue daily with enterprise-level ephemeral self-hosted runners (containerized)… It is blocking us to implement proper runner autoscaling
