Group Service Account API POST only works with group ids but not with URL encoded path #3108
Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
I want to create a group service account on a self-hosted premium instance.
I have a top-level group named "user" with the group id 512.
The following command works:
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: secret-token" "https://git.example.com/api/v4/groups/512/service_accounts"
=> {"id":308,"username":"service_account_group_512_3a8565725ac3330996b803e2cab6d908","name":"Service account user"}
This one does not work:
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: secret-token" "https://git.example.com/api/v4/groups/user/service_accounts"
=> {"message":"400 Bad request - User does not have permission to create a service account in this namespace."}
Expected Behavior
Endpoint works with id and url-encoded-path.
Actual Behavior
Endpoint only works with id.
