Description

I'm a global admin on my installation of Gitea and I need to generate a report of permissions by API for a specific user.

However, the API method users/{username}/repos does not list user's repositories where the user has access to, even with my token. It returns HTTP 200 with empty JSON array []. My guess is that the user is collaborator or team member in repositories, not their owner, and this method ignores it. However, there is no other way how to retrieve such info.

Above try.gitea.io URL does not list my repository (https://try.gitea.io/jk-nilo/PerformanceApi) to which I give the user a write access.

Thank you

users/{username}/repos only list the repos a user own ...

@jk-nilo a working solution would be the https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger#/user/userCurrentListRepos with sudo header
this is a privacy feature ... ☝️ only admins can use sudo header ;)

Thanks for pointing out about the "sudo header" what is it for :)

For others, in docs, https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/api-usage/#sudo
