`api/v4/projects` w/ Token w/ "read_user" causes unexpected 401 :-(
Summary
Hello, I'm using the Omnibus from debian packages 12.9.2 on Ubuntu 18.04
I am using the API with a Personal Access Token.
Steps to reproduce
Create access tokens with various permissions and throw them at this endpoint:
$ curl "https://sub.example.com/api/v4/projects/2"
{"message":"404 Project Not Found"}%
$ curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: token_with_all_boxes_checked" "https://sub.example.com/api/v4/projects/2"
{"message":"401 Unauthorized"}%
$ curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: token_with_only_sudo" https://sub.example.com/api/v4/projects/2"
{"error":"insufficient_scope","error_description":"The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token.","scope":"api"}
$ curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: token_with_everything_but_read_user" "https://sub.example.com/api/v4/projects/2"
{"id":2,"description":"...
Notice that checking all the boxes is counter-intuitive as it diminishes access.
I'm guessing that wasn't intended and is a permissions check bug in that endpoint.
