Description

Even though I have given the token all repositories access and “Administration” read-write.

github.GithubException.GithubException: 403 {"message": "Resource not accessible by personal access token", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/teams/teams#list-teams"}

I have tried classic token as well. Big blocker for me

Research direction

Start with the GitHub REST teams list-teams endpoint and reproduce the reported 403 using the token permissions described. Compare the library's team-management entry point with the endpoint's current authorization requirements; done means the behavior has a documented or tested resolution for fine-grained and classic tokens.
