How do I set the build authorization scope for my project?

Question

Right now my NuGet restore fails since the project build user doesn\'t have contributor access to the package feed.

/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/3.0.100/NuGe

There was a workaround for this 403 error posted a few hours ago: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/795493/403-error-during-nuget-restore.html

In short, this seems to affect new projects connecting to a private feed. Here's the suggested work around:

1. Click "Artifacts" in the project with the failing build

2. Select the feed you were trying to consume in your build and click the cog in the top right corner

3. Click "Feed Settings"

4. Go to the Permissions tab

5. Click the 3 dots [...] that appeared to the right of the tab

6. Click "Allow project-scoped builds"

This adds the relevant user permissions that the error the OP posted was complaining about. Hopefully Microsoft will make a proper fix for this soon.
