Receiving a 403 attempting to access directus_fields

Help
1

Hey y’all…

I’m trying to read some field metadata, and getting a 403. I have a multi-select drop-down defined as a field on one of my collections. So, I’m trying to run the following query to get the metadata of what options the user can select.

I have turned Read access on for directus_fields and verified that all fields on that collection have read access. However, I get a 403 both in my code and when I ping the API directly.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Code:

    try {
      final response = await get(
        'directus_fields',
        query: {
          'filter[collection][_eq]': 'SpiritualExercise',
          'filter[field][_eq]': 'difficulty_level',
          'fields': 'options.choices',
      });

      final data = response['data'];

… where get() is …

  Future<Map<String, dynamic>> get(
    String collection, {
    String? id,
    Map<String, dynamic>? query,
  }) async {
    try {
      return await _authenticatedRequest((token) => dio.get(
            id != null
                ? '$baseUrl/items/$collection/$id'
                : '$baseUrl/items/$collection',
            queryParameters: query,
            options: Options(
              headers: {'Authorization': 'Bearer $token'},
            ),
          )).then((response) => response.data);
    } catch (e) {
      _logger.severe('Get error: $e');
      rethrow;
    }
  }

And the API call is:

https:///items/directus_fields

Thank you in advance for your help!
