"Must have admin rights" to delete a repo for which I have admin rights

[timholy]

I'm trying to do a mass deletion of old forks, and this package looks very useful. But I'm getting stuck here:

julia> frps[3]
Repo (all fields are Union{Nothing, T}):
  name: "ArrayFire.jl"
  full_name: "timholy/ArrayFire.jl"
  description: "Julia wrapper for the ArrayFire library"
  language: "Julia"
  default_branch: "master"
  owner: Owner("timholy")
  id: 65619845
  size: 202

  has_wiki: false
  has_downloads: true
  has_pages: false
  private: false
  fork: true
  permissions: Dict{String,Any}("admin"=>true,"pull"=>true,"push"=>true)

Note the permissions field says "admin"=>true. But then

julia> delete_repo(frps[3]; auth=auth)

Your token need specific permissions to allow this (https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/repos#delete-a-repository), in particular you need to mark:

[timholy]

That's it,thanks!

The HTTP response from GitHub is a bit misleading.
