Internal/Private repo actions not functioning although repo option is set properly

Recently found this option in repositoing settings > actions

Set it to org access as seen in the screenshot.

I tried to run the action directly from another repos workflow but it failed saying:

Download action repository '<org-removed>/<repo-removed>@master' (SHA:0543e0509f1b2b87c304e1789859bad624b9fabd)

Error: An action could not be found at the URI 'https://api.github.com/repos/<org-removed>/<repo-removed>/tarball/0543e0509f1b2b87c304e1789859bad624b9fabd'

Seems like I’m not the only one in the community that has run into this: https://github.community/t/github-action-action-in-private-repository/16063/76?u=timharris777

The option you set is for reusable workflows, not for actions.

If I did not miss anything, to use actions from internal/private repositories you still first need to check out the repo. Here’s the documentation https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#example-using-an-action-inside-a-different-private-repository-than-the-workflow

There is an open ticket in the Github roadmap for using actions from internal repos https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/74

That’s promising! It looks though that it is still limited to enterprise internal (not private) repositories. I believe internal repositories are available for on-prem enterprise GitHub, right? (in my usecase, we have an enterprise GitHub organization account, but we do not have an active GitHub on-prem)
