Description

Setup:

An admin user A has a private repo template under this account. And another admin user B wants to create a new repo (in this account) with the repo template.

On the web UI, the repo template is visible to user B and user B can create a repo with the repo template successfully.

An API /repos//<repo template/generate request submitted by user B would yield the "404 Not Found" error. The generate repo option data set up is shown as the following:

        this.name = name;
        this.owner = owner;
        this._private = isPrivate;
        this.avatar = true;
        this.gitContent = true;
        this.gitHooks = true;
        this.labels = true;
        this.topics = true;
        this.webhooks = true;

Also, the same request submitted by user A will succeed. User B had successfully submitted such a request once. I don't see anything to prevent user B to submit the same request multiple times. For example, there isn't the same repo name under the user B account.
