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
