error: failed to invite owners ... It looks like you don't have permission ...

error: failed to invite owners to crate ...: api errors: It looks like you don't have permission to query a necessary property from Github to complete this request. You may need to re-authenticate on crates.io to grant permission to read github org memberships. Just go to https://crates.io/login

I did https://crates.io/login, Githus asked for permissions, I accepted, (crates.io got into a sort of redirect loop after that, but it shows my profile page now), but cargo owner --add still shows the error.

crates.io entry of Github's https://github.com/settings/connections/applications shows one permission: Read org and team membership.

This is confusing, and I'm sorry. Have you granted crates.io permissions to the rust-bus organization? To check this, go to https://github.com/settings/applications, click on crates.io, and scroll down to where the organizations are listed. Is the rust-bus org listed there with a green check?

That's how it looks:

I don't know where to add organisations.

Anyway

Just go to https://crates.io/login

seems to be not enough.

Hmmmm, that's really strange, this is what that page looks like to me:

Are you a member of the rust-bus organization?

We have #997 for improving this error message to be more helpful.

Are you a member of the rust-bus organization?

No. I expect membership it to be for maintainers of Rust Bus, not for usual users. It it not the case?

[carols10cents]

Ah, well, currently you need to be a member of the team to be able to add the team as an owner of a crate, and we don't have plans to change that requirement.

Sorry for the confusion. That's a dupe of #1366. I've updated our docs to point to another command that doesn't run into this limitation.
