PROBLEM: Gitea API returned 403 Forbidden with message 'token does not have at least one of required scope(s): [read:user]'
|
|
|
|
ROOT CAUSE: API token was created without proper scopes/permissions selected in Gitea web UI.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION: When creating Gitea API tokens:
|
|
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Generate New Token
|
|
2. MUST select appropriate scopes:
|
|
- 'read:user' - required for user info endpoints
|
|
- 'write:repository' or 'repo' - required for branch protection
|
|
- Or select 'repo' (full repository access) which includes both
|
|
|
|
TESTING: Verify token scopes with:
|
|
curl -H 'Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN' https://git.manticorum.com/api/v1/user
|
|
|
|
ERROR PATTERN: Look for 'does not have at least one of required scope(s)' in 403 responses.
|
|
|
|
RELATED: For authenticated user's repos, use /api/v1/user/repos instead of /api/v1/users/{username}/repos
