Unless you’re using session authentication, the Admin API should not be used in a browser. Are you using session or token authentication?

We are using Token authentication. Should we be using session auth instead?

Does adding referrer policy in config.production.json help in using admin api with token authentication?

If you’re using the admin API on the client side, you can only use session auth. The key you added in your config file isn’t used by ghost as far as I’m aware
