Unable to add tags to an order due to Access Denied Error

[ProfitLabs]

Hi,

We need to add tags to shopify orders. To do this we are using tagsAdd mutation. Here is our mutation

mutation addTagsToOrder($id: ID!, $tags: [String!]!) {
        tagsAdd(id: $id, tags: $tags) {
            node {
                id
            }
            userErrors {
                field
                message
            }
        }
  }

and here is a sample input for this mutation

{
    "id":"gid://shopify/Order/4911931326705",
    "tags": ["test"]
}

We are getting following response / error from Shopify

        "response": {
            "data": {
                "tagsAdd": null
            },
            "errors": [

                        }

                    "path": [
                        "tagsAdd"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "extensions": {
                "cost": {

                        "restoreRate": 50
                    }
                }
            },
            "status": 200
        },
        "request": {
            "query": "\n    mutation addTagsToOrder($id: ID!, $tags: [String!]!) {\n        tagsAdd(id: $id, tags: $tags) {\n            node {\n                id\n            }\n            userErrors {\n                field\n                message\n            }\n        }\n  }\n",
            "variables": {
                "id": "gid://shopify/Order/4911931326705",
                "tags": [
                    "test"
                ]
            }
        }
    }

One thing to note here is above mutation is in try catch statement and this error comes in catch part i.e it is not a usererror.

we already are doing lots of order edit before doing this mutation like inventory adjustment and ordereditbegin mutations.

Our Api Scopes are as follows

"write_products,read_orders,write_order_edits,write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders,write_third_party_fulfillment_orders,write_inventory"

We are using Oct'21 Version of the API.

Could someone point out if we are missing anything obvious.

Thank you

I think you need the write_orders scope to be able to add tags to orders.
