I am using a self hosted windows agent to publish my build artifacts to the azure artifact feed since the artifacts are .zip file I am using UniversalPackages task given below.

- task: UniversalPackages@0
    displayName: 'Publish to Azure Artifact feed'
    inputs:
      command: 'publish'
      publishDirectory: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/files.zip'
      feedsToUsePublish: 'internal'
      vstsFeedPublish: 'kitagi'
      vstsFeedPackagePublish: 'testartifact'
      versionOption: 'custom'
      versionPublish: '1.0.3'
      publishedPackageVar: 'testartifact'

"An error occurred on the service. User 'f3d5130b-1a1b-4c35-9703-4d5cb68bb1d9' lacks permission to complete this action. You need to have 'AddPackage'.","@i":"f4f95e05","@l":"Error","SourceContext":"ArtifactTool.Program","UtcTimestamp":"2024-03-20 05:25:02.186Z"})

When you use Publish Universal Package task in Azure Pipeline, it will use the Build Service Account to publish the package to feed.

To solve this issue, you can grant the Contributor role to the Build Service Account in Azure Artifacts -> Target Feed -> Settings -> Permissions.

Project level: Projectname Build Service(OrganizationName)

Organization level: Project Collection Build Service(OrganizationName)

For example:

For more detailed info, you can refer to these docs: Manage build service account permissions and Pipelines permissions

If you Azure Artifacts Feed and Azure Pipeline are in the different projects, you need to Disable the option: Limit job authorization scope to current project for non-release pipelines in Project Settings -> Settings
