Hello GitLab Community,
I ve recently encountered an issue while trying to use the /applications
API on GitLab.com.
Every time I make a request, I receive a "403-forbidden" error.
Upon further research, I found out that one needs to be an Admin user for the Personal Access Token (PAT) to function correctly with this API.
I logged into my account on gitlab.com(fresh new signin), where my role is set as "Owner". However, I m unable to locate the admin settings or the wrench icon that typically represents the Admin Area.
Could someone please guide me on:
- How to access the Admin Area as an Owner on GitLab.com?
- Any additional steps or permissions required to successfully use the
/applications
API?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
What did I try? I attempted to access the /applications API on GitLab.com using my Personal Access Token (PAT).
What was I expecting? I expected to successfully retrieve data from the /applications API since I am designated as the "Owner" of my GitLab account.
What actually resulted? I consistently received a "403-forbidden" error. Upon further investigation, I learned that one might need Admin privileges for the PAT to work with this specific API. However, even though I am an "Owner", I couldn t locate the Admin settings or the wrench icon on GitLab.com.
