I have two repos, one for code and one for data - `org/code-repo` and `org/data-repo`, `org` is a github organization which I created, my teammates have write permission for any repo in it. I used `dvc import git@github.com:org/data-repo path/to/data_file --config .dvc/config.local` in `org/code-repo` (config contains credentials for webdav remote) and commited the changes.

If I try to use `dvc pull` or `dvc status` in `org/code-repo` without dvc data downloaded, everything works as expected. But it doesn’t work my teammates:

for `dvc pull`:

```auto
Collecting |0.00 [00:01, ?entry/s]
Fetching

Everything is up to date.
ERROR: failed to pull data from the cloud - Checkout failed for following targets:
datasets
Is your cache up to date?
<https://error.dvc.org/missing-files>

```

for `dvc status`:

```auto
ERROR: SCM error: Failed to clone repo 'git@github.com:org/data-repo' to '/tmp/tmpn9x1vkpzdvc-clone': Authentication failed for: 'git@github.com:22': Permission denied for user git on host github.com

```

They can clone `org/data-repo` with git though.
