Circleci namespace create results in: Error: AUTHORIZATION_FAILURE

I’m getting: Error: AUTHORIZATION_FAILURE when I run:circleci namespace create
I’ve setup my circleci cli tool with my api token which completed successful.

Here’s the debug output:

>> variables: map[organizationName:Pasabi organizationVcs:GITHUB]
>> query: query($organizationName: String!, $organizationVcs: VCSType!) {

					name: $organizationName
					vcsType: $organizationVcs

Hi @jdoig, welcome to the CircleCI Community! Without looking at your account, here are a few things I can think of that may be resulting in this error:

  • Could you confirm that the token in use is a personal API token?
  • Were you able to create a namespace or did another user in you company create one? If there is already a namespace, what is it?
  • Are you seeing this error when creating a new orb or updating an existing orb?
  • Have you recently renamed your GitHub or Bitbucket username or organization?
  • Do you have admin privileges for the organization you are publishing from?

Hopefully one of these resolve the issue!
