Issue created Sep 23, 2020 by jdgarcia@jdgarcia

Certain GraphQL queries do not work with a PAT with "read_api" scope.

Summary

When using a PAT with read_api scope, the currentUser query returns null and the projects(membership:true) query returns an empty list of nodes. Using the api scope makes those queries work, however, since they are queries and not mutations, I would expect read_api to work. It's possibly more queries than those are affected, those are just the ones I happened to be testing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make a GraphQL request using this query using a PAT with read_api scope:
query {
  currentUser{
    username
  }
  projects(membership:true) {
    nodes {
      name
      nameWithNamespace
    }
  }
}
  1. You will receive this as the result:
{
  "currentUser": null,
  "projects": {
    "nodes": []
  }
}
  1. Make the same request with a PAT with api scope.
  2. The result will contain the requested data.

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?

Certain queries do not return data when using a read_api scope token.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Queries should work when using a read_api scope token.

(we will only investigate if the tests are passing)
