Can anyone help me out with this?

Answer 1

You need to create or log in using the chef infra (https://api.chef.io/) account to the chef supermarket(https://supermarket.chef.io/) account.

In my case, I just have an infra account with ykurmi user and was trying to share the cookbook to supermarket. Later I logged in to supermarket using the chef infra user and it worked.
