When we are trying to deploy the serialized items into our production CM through Sitecore CLI using devops pipeline but get the below error:

You are not authorized to perform the task you are attempting. You may need to be assigned additional permissions.

As mentioned in another thread, I don't want to make "requireAuthentication" false. Is there any other alternative way?

  • Having a very similar issue here. Our dev and qa environments are fine, but the newly stood up prod environment is showing this same error. Did you come to a resolution on this that you may be able to share? Thanks.

  • @Mark We found out, there was a custom pipeline code written for userBuilder which was causing the issue. once we have removed it, started working.

I was also facing a similar issue. And by troubleshooting it, I found that the identityServerAuthority value in Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.IdentityServer.config was wrong. Correcting it resolved the issue.

I recently encountered the same issue and found the solution here.

To troubleshoot the issue, consider the following steps:

  • Check that the login command is correct. In particular, check hostnames of Content Management and Sitecore Identity instances and other parameters.

  • Check that --allow-write true parameter is present in the login command.

  • identityServerAuthority setting value and value of the --authority parameter in the Login command should be the same.

  • identityServerAuthority setting value in the runtime configuration should not contain a slash in the end. An example of an incorrect value:

    <sc.variable name="identityServerAuthority" value="https://sc1030id.com/" />

  • If the passwordStrengthRegularExpression attribute was added for the default SQL membership provider in web.config file, try to remove it temporarily and reproduce the issue.

  • If the externalUserBuilder node was overwritten, try to remove such customization temporarily and reproduce the issue. The default type is the following:

    type="Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.Services.DefaultExternalUserBuilder, Sitecore.Owin.Authentication"

  • Try using both interactive and non-interactive login methods to log in to a Sitecore instance and reproduce the issue.

  • Ensure that the environment where the CLI commands are executed has access to Content Management server. Try allowing all incoming traffic on Content Management and replicate the issue.

  • Open the User Manager and check if the CLI user (for example: sitecore\eRDfptzc8G) is not disabled and has the Administrator role.

Hope it helps!
