Master\owner can't edit or delete tags on gitlab repository

I'm trying to delete the tag with specific user by

    git push --delete origin deleteme

I'm authorized by ssh key with user that belongs to admin group and have "Owner" permissions to the repository. I'm getting the following error:

    remote: GitLab: You are not allowed to change existing tags on this project.

If I create a new user with the same permissions, I am able to delete tags successfully. I tried to revoke and grant ownership again but nothing changed. Logs say nothing. The only difference between this user and the new one is that naughty user does not use LDAP. Tags on the project are not protected.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

For the majority of users this is probably not the problem, but for some users it might be helpful to notice that protecting the creation of tags for some users by default disables editing and deleting of that tags for all users as well.

By default, protected tags are designed to:

  • Prevent tag creation by everybody except Maintainers
  • Prevent anyone from updating the tag
  • Prevent anyone from deleting the tag

More on that here: https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/protected_tags#overview
