Github Graphql API create repo

Question

I am using below query to create repo:

   gh api -i graphql -f query='
   mutation {
   createRepository(input: {name: "gh-create-test", visibility: PRIVATE, ownerId: "ID"}) {
    repository {
      url
    }
  }
}
'

THe repo gets created successfully but without admin rights whereas when I create repo from GITHUB UI the repo has admin rights. Can anyone please help what's the issue in this query?

By admin rights I mean , I don’t see the settings tab for the repo which is created by graphql api but same is visible when created via gui. — Stack_IQ

I just created one, Make sure you are getting the id first and pass it to the createRepository

query{
  repositoryOwner(login:"yourLoginId"){
    id
    login
    repositories(first:1) {
      edges {
        node {
          id
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

and create a repository by passing the ownerid

mutation {
   createRepository(input: {name: "gh-create-test", visibility: PRIVATE, ownerId: "idobtainedabove"}) {
    repository {
      url
    }
  }
}

“yourloginid” what Id is expected here? Github login ?

It works fine for me. Are you trying to do this within an organization?
