I am trying to use Sonar Qube API using a token created under my account. I am sonar Qube Admin and has all the rights . When I use my user name and password the script work fine but when I try to use the token created. Token created as “Global Analysis”, also tried user token as well bit giving same error due to privileges.

Here is the script works with my user name and password

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$user = Read-Host "Please Enter UserName "
$securedValue = Read-Host "Please Enter Password " -AsSecureString
$bstr = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($securedValue)
$value = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($bstr)
$combocred = "$($user):$($value)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($combocred))
$headers = @{"Authorization" = "Basic "+$encodedCreds}

$headers = @{ 
        Authorization = "Basic "+$encodedCreds 
      }
      $body = @{
          project = $projectKey
          tags = $tags
      }

$sonarqubeUrl = $(OURSONARQUBEURL)

$apiUrl = "/api/project_tags/set"
$projectKey = $(OURPROJECTKEY)
$tags="devopsteam"

$uri = "$sonarqubeUrl/api/project_tags/set"

 try 
        {
          $webRequest = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method Post -Body $body
        } 
      catch
        {
          Write-Host $_.Exception.Response
          Write-Host "##vso[task.complete result=SucceededWithIssues;]"
        }

I am trying o set up Project Tags while running the build pipeline

Here is the script with the token

$myToken = $(my_token)
#$headers = @{"Authorization" = "Bearer "+$myToken}
$projectKey = "DevOpsAuditReport"
$tags="devopsteam1"
$headers = @{ 
        "Authorization" = "Bearer "+$mytoken      }
 $body = @{
          project = $projectKey
          tags = $tags
      }

$sonarqubeUrl = "https://sonarqube.bluebayinvest.com"

$uri = "$sonarqubeUrl/api/project_tags/set"

 try 
        {
          $webRequest = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method Post -Body $body
        } 
      catch
        {
          Write-Host $_.Exception.Response
          Write-Host "##vso[task.complete result=SucceededWithIssues;]"
        }
