Pipeline fails when triggered by admin

Summary

Admins cannot run pipelines in private repositories when they aren't explicit member of the project??

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create Private Repository as non-admin. Don't add root to this repo
  2. Log in as root
  3. Trigger Pipeline for this repo

What is the current bug behavior?

Pipeline cannot access the Repository, error 403

What is the expected correct behavior?

Runner should be able to access repository when running as admin
