[5.x]: Cannot query authors via Graphql on Craft Team license

[ajoliveau]

What happened?

Description

When using Craft with the Team license, you have full access to the whole multi-users feature set, including assigning one (or multiple) authors, but the authorId and author graphql attributes are not available in the schema.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the Team license
2. Check the Graphql Schema (at /admin/graphql/schemas/public) and note you don't see the options to query Users
3. Check graphiql and see you have no authors field anywhere
4. Switch to the Pro license
5. Check that you can see and check the Users query options
   
6. Confirm you can query Author information { entries { authorId } }
7. Bonus : Switch back to the Team license, and even though you can't see the Users query options in the schema, you still can query users

Expected behavior

I don't actually know. According to the pricing page, Team and Pro licenses should give the same permissions related to users (but Pro as unlimited users) ?
But according to the documentation some authors functionality like "Choose the entry’s Authors" is gated to the Pro license ? But I guess that's just old doc that wasn't updated when the Team plan was introduced

Actual behavior

With a Team license, I'm not able to query authors for entries using Graphql

Hi, thanks for reporting!

According to the pricing page, Team and Pro licenses should give the same permissions related to users (but Pro as unlimited users) ?

That’s correct. It’s an oversight, and I raised a PR for it.

But according to the documentation some authors functionality like "Choose the entry’s Authors" is gated to the Pro license ? But I guess that's just old doc that wasn't updated when the Team plan was introduced

And you’re right here, too. The docs need to be updated. I raised an issue for this in the docs repo.

Craft 5.2.1 is out with that fix to GraphQL schemas. Thanks again!
