history_slackr and private channels

[hathawayj]

When I use history_slackr(1, "private_channel") it returnsNULL. I can see the private channels through a call toslackr_groups(). However, none of those private channels will return data with a call tohistory_slack()`.

I used https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens to create my tokens. I have tested and I can use history_slackr() to get data from public channels.

I have the same issue as above. I can post to private channels but history_slackr returns null.

It doesn't seem that user tokens allow history access to private channels. See below

User tokens gain the "old world" resource-based OAuth scopes requested in the installation process (example: asking for channels:history grants access a user token access to channels.history for any public channel)
