@premnathm Can you check your role using this curl call to verify? Note: You need correct scope for the token for this to work.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $GH_TOKEN" \
     -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
     https://api.github.com/orgs/ORG_NAME/memberships/YOUR_USERNAME

Hi Team! Premnathm is the owner of the qatouch GitHub organization, so this isn't a case of missing organization permissions or a private membership. Refer to the screenshot

I verified that the organization is owned by the same GitHub account (premnathm) that's being used to publish. If there's anything else you'd like me to check (such as the namespace registration or publisher configuration), let me know and I'm happy to provide additional details.

@premnathm Can you verify this using the token as given in previous comment, it may happen that token scope is not correct. This is the token that you are using to publish the server.

[premnathm]

I verified the organization membership using the GitHub API.
The authenticated account is premnathm, and the membership lookup returns:

state: active
role: admin
direct_membership: true

So the account is an active organization owner/admin of the qatouch GitHub organization.
Given that, it appears the 403 Forbidden during publishing is not due to GitHub organization membership or permissions. The registry still reports that the authenticated account is only authorized to publish under io.github.premnathm/* and not io.github.qatouch/*.
Could you please check whether the io.github.qatouch namespace has been registered or mapped to the qatouch GitHub organization on the registry side? If there's any additional setup required to authorize publishing under the organization namespace, please let me know.

@premnathm registry internally doesn't have any mapping, I will debug this further and report back. Thank you for the details!

I'm experiencing the same issue. I tried with 1.7.9 and 1.8.0 and I reproduce it with both.
