Getting user key via incorrect API?

[veetow]

Based on the API documentation for retrieving user keys:
https://docs.chef.io/api_chef_server.html#id12

It would seem to me that get_key should be using the root-scoped v1 API instead of the org-scoped one that's being used here:

chef-vault/lib/chef-vault/actor.rb

Line 114 in 8d3a43f

api.org_scoped_rest_v1.get("#{request_actor_type}/#{name}/keys/default").fetch("public_key")

Am I understanding correctly or is the Chef API documentation incorrect?

Hello @veetow ,

thanks for reporting this inconsistency.
Indeed at the moment, chef server api documents user api outside of the org specific endpoint.

My opinion is that chef server api is not very consistent since users are most likely scoped to org. I'll let @thommay gives the "chef" voice on this.
