When I query the Confluence REST API it returns a 401 response

```auto
const response = await api.asUser().requestConfluence(route`/wiki/api/v2/spaces`, {
        headers: {
            'Accept': 'application/json'
        }
    });

```

I know I have the correct scopes set as this works in the backend function, however in the consumer function it doesn’t seem to be sending the oauth token as a parameter.

Does anyone know if this is possible in a queue consumer?

Hello Nahi!

When you are processing an [async event](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/runtime-reference/async-events-api/), there is no user associated with the request, even if the event was pushed from a user-driven interaction.

Therefore you should use `asApp` instead of `asUser` when calling Confluence.
