AccessToken does not have the expected scope users!user - Access to Custom API not possible

JupyterHub

Hello everyone,

in an external tool the users should be able to enter their own information, for this I have written my own handler, which inherits from APIHandler.
I have given the routes @needs_scope(“users”).

As far as I understand the documentation, a user should have the scope users!user=NAME. But, when I create an AccessToken for the user, this token does not have the scope.
I get this message when I try to access the new route:
Action is not authorised with current scopes; requires any of [users].
But when I pass users!user=NAME as scope in the token creation process, I get this message:
Not assigning requested scopes users!user=NAME,list:users!user=NAME not held by User NAME
Am I missing something with the scopes function?

Many thanks for your help

Can you describe more about what you are trying to do? @needs_scope and APIHandler are for internal implementation of JupyterHub, not for use in external Services implementations.

Users do not have the scope users!user=NAME by default. What sort of actions are you trying to accomplish that users is the right scope to require? Maybe a more specific scope that users actually do have will suffice. If you really want to grant users greater permissions than the default, you can set permissions for all users by adding scopes to the user role.
