Summary
Not able to find NuGet package from our private feed under Artifacts.
Our Azure DevOps environment
In Azure, we have our company "space": dev.azure.com/OurCompany
Under that, we have multiple Projects, so for example, imagine these three:
- Green: this holds applications of a certain type
- Blue: this holds applications of a different type
- Red: this holds our "common" helper code
RED
RED holds all our common helper code are DLLs consumed by applications in GREEN and BLUE. These are made available as NuGet packages.
Under RED's Artifacts, we see an "organisational scoped feed" called "OurCompany". We understood that we couldn't use this because these NuGet packages need to be available to everyone in OurCompany, which means not only on Azure, but also on our DeskTop machines in our Corporate network (where we run Visual Studio). The "organisational scoped feed" I don't think is exposed to our Corporate Network.
We therefore created a new Feed under RED's Artifacts. When I view Permissions, I see the following entries:
- {me} : (Owner)
- [OurCompany]\Project Collection Adminstrators : (Owner)
- [RED]\Project Administrators : (Owner)
- Project Collection Build Service (OurCompany) : (Contributor)
- [RED]\Contributors (Contributor)
- RED Build Service (OurCompany) : (Contributor)
- BLUE Build Service (OurCompany) : (Contributor)
Corporate
So, back in Corporate, we add the NuGet package feed to our Visual Studio and it can then pull the NuGet packages down from Azure.
GREEN and BLUE
In here we have our products. We create a build Pipeline and we add a NuGet restore step:
- task: NuGetCommand@2
displayName: 'Restore for Our Application'
inputs:
command: 'restore'
restoreSolution: '**/*.sln'
feedsToUse: 'select'
vstsFeed: '{Guid1}/{Guid2}'
The two Guids were filled in when we picket the Azure Artifacts feed from the drop-down.
GREEN or BLUE NuGet Restore Failure
So this is where we run into our issue. When the NuGet restore step executes, it fails with the following message:
Unable to find version 'nnnn.n.n' of package 'TheNuGetPackage'.
The log output is vast, but the salient lines appear to be:

This looks like a permissions thing to me. But what seems odd is that the Artifact Feed in RED was discoverable when creating the Pipeline Build YAML when we then don't have permissions to use it.
I did try adding permissions to the Feed in RED. Clicking on the "Add users/groups". I found the following and added them as either Reader or Contributor, but with no success.
- [GREEN]\ Green Team
- GREEN Build Services
So:
- Am I going about this the wrong way? If so, what ought I be doing (I thought I'd followed the Azure DevOps instuctions fairly closely)
- Am I going about this the right way? If so, what have I missed?
