Projects GitLab API: response.permissions.group_access is null although user can clone the repository

Summary

Projects GitLab API: response.permissions.group_access is null although user can clone the repository.

Steps to reproduce

• I created a gitlab user - testUser.
• I created a group called group-with-developers-permissions. testUser is a member of the group with Developer role.
• I shared my project called testProject with group-with-developers-permissions (Max access level= Developer), so testUser can clone testProject repository - good
• I call gitlab rest api http:///api/v4/projects?membership=true on behalf of the testUser
• The response is:

{
    “id”: 1,
    “description”: “”,
    “default_branch”: “master”,
    …
    “permissions”:{
        “project_access”: null,
        “group_access”: null, //why group_access is null?
    }
}

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?
