@zettabyte918 Thanks for your reply!

I just tried that out, but it also doesn’t work.

Just to verify of what I did, I did the following:

  1. I went to the Strapi admin backend → Settings → Users & Permissions Plugin → Roles → Edit the “Authenticated” role.
  2. I went to the permissions section and the find permission on the author and on the post.
  3. I made another REST API call with my API token to GET http://localhost:1337/api/posts/1 and the author was not included in the response.

Also, one thing to note. In the permissions section, when I click on the little cog next to the find permission on the author/post it tells me that the permission is bound to the following 2 API routes respectively:

GET /api/posts
GET /api/authors
