forge app login is not working with admin api tokens generated with scopes

Question

Team, I have generated an admin API token with manage:jira-configuration read:jira-work read:jira-user read:permission:jira scopes and tried to log in to Forge using CLI, but I'm getting

Error: We couldn't log you in with those credentials. Check your email address and token before rerunning the command. Does Forge login not work with new admin tokens with scopes, or are there other scopes that need to be included?

Sorry for the late response but it is better to ask this kind of questions to https://community.developer.atlassian.com/ to get more answers.

Forge CLI does not support logging in using admin API tokens, even if the token has the right scopes. Forge CLI expects a full user authentication session, not a static API token.
