## Description

### **Environment**:

Your OpenProject Version: 10.6.5 / Self Hosted

### **Logs**

``` text
-----------START-----------

PATCH /api/v3/projects/463

Content-Length: 17

Content-Type: application/json

Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXX

{"active": false}

#############

{'_type': 'Error', 'errorIdentifier': 'urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:MissingPermission', 'message': "Vous n'êtes pas autorisé à accéder à cette ressource."}

#############
```

### **Steps to reproduce:**

PATCH /api/v3/projects/{id}

Body : {'active':'false'}

### **Actual Behavior**

I can't change the setting active to False whereas I have an admin account on this project.

I also verify that the apikey is still associate to my admin account.
