My application is using Google OAuth2 authentication with scopes ‘email’ and ‘profile’.

My Google + profile has work and education related information specified.

I’m accessing the profile info using the following URL template:

https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me?access_token=<>

The returned JSON contains the ‘organizations’ element only if it is specified as PUBLIC info on my profile page. The information marked as Only-Me (private) is never returned. Why is that, having in mind that I’m accessing the profile info using ‘me’ as user identifier, i.e.:

https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me

Do I need additional authorization scope?

Note: The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data.
