It's described here - you need to provide a PAT:

If we can support this ability by default?

I get that we need to use a PAT for checking out a private repo. Our Org has 4 different members all of who have their own forked repo, so if we wanted to run a checkout action for a PR from all 4 will we need to create 4 different PATs? how do we specify the tokens in the action?

I'm facing this issue too when fetching a private repo. It only works on v2
