GitHub app: permission to access projectsV2 linked to repositories to which the user gave access permission?

Body

I have a question on permissions of GitHub apps:

When I install a GitHub app that I'm working on into my personal account (installation.target_type: 'User'), and run the following GQL query, the repositories to which I gave access are being returned - but not the projectsV2 that are linked to those repositories:

query repositoriesWithProjects {
  viewer {
    repositories(first: 100) {
      nodes {
        id
        name
        projectsV2(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            id
            title
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

However, when I install the same GitHub app into an organisation (`installation.target_type: 'Organization'), and run the same query, the repositories and projects are returned, which is what I hope to achieve.

The app's Organization permissions includes Projects, and the Repository permissions include Projects, but that's labeled as "Manage classic projects within a repository." - that does not seem to include ProjectsV2, and there's no separate permission either.

What am I overlooking? Is there a permission configuration that I'm missing to also get the user's repo's projects if the GitHub app is installed into a user account?
