Unable to fetch Organisations list if membership is private

[JyotstnaDeviChintala]

i have an C# wpf Desktop APP trying to fetch the organizations list i have access to or i'm a member of

This app has been added to trusted apps to my account and by the organization ( i own) also
Applications ->Authorised OAUth APPs ->MYAPP, its trusted by the Organization too.

Scopes used are : user and read:org while fetching access token

But still using this token im unable to fetch full organizations list.

Organizations in which my membership is Public are being retrieved.

but for Organizations in which my membership is Private are not retrieved.

is this expected?

@JyotstnaDeviChintala Thanks for reaching out. Happy to try to help on this!

Can you share your code, just so we can see what API you're calling?

What kind of API credential are you using? Is it an OAuth access token, a personal access token, something else...?

Thankyou for your support. Heres the code:

Fetching organizations list

List<string> organizationList = new List<string>();
            try
            {
                if (GitHubAccessToken != null)
                {
                    var user = await client.User.Current();
                    IReadOnlyList<Organization> organizations = await client.Organization.GetAllForUser(user.Login);
                    foreach (Organization organization in organizations)
                        organizationList.Add(organization.Login);
                }
            }

using OAuth access token with scopes:

var request = new OauthLoginRequest(clientId)
                {
                    Scopes = { "user", "notifications", "repo", "read:org" },
                    State = csrf
                };

@JyotstnaDeviChintala Thanks for sharing the code!

According to the API docs, that API "only lists public memberships, regardless of authentication". You'll need to use the "list organizations for the authenticated user" API instead.

Can you try using the GetAllForCurrent method instead?

Thanks a lot ! it Worked.

Doc was not clear and i got confused with the library documentation

    ```

//
// Summary:
// Returns all Octokit.Organizations for the specified user.
//
// Returns:
// A list of the specified user's Octokit.Organizations.
//
// Exceptions:
// T:Octokit.ApiException:
// Thrown when a general API error occurs.
Task<IReadOnlyList> GetAllForUser(string user);

Great! If you have time, it would be awesome if you could make a pull request updating the method description to make the "only lists public memberships, regardless of authentication" limitation clear. That'll help other people in the future I'm sure.
