There is also an option to test private points using an API key with full or partial access. Maybe it will be useful for someone. The key can be created in the global scope or in the test scope

const getRandomID = () => {
  return Math.round(Math.random() * 10000).toString();
};

const getFullAPIToken = async () => {
  const tokenService = strapi.service("admin::api-token");

  const attributes = {
    name: `token${getRandomID()}`,
    description: "",
    type: "full-access",
    lifespan: null,
  };

  const apiToken = await tokenService.create(attributes);
  return apiToken.accessKey;
};

// Test
let token;

beforeAll(async () => {
    token = await getFullAPIToken();
});

it("should get categories", async () => {
    await request(strapi.server.httpServer)
      .get("/api/category-list")
      .set("accept", "application/json")
      .set("Authorization", `Bearer ${token}`)
      .expect("Content-Type", /json/)
      .expect(200)
});
