"You're not authorized to analyze this project" Error (Solved)

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

[SOLVED] I needed to generate a User Token in the Admin → Security and add it to the sonar-scanner.properties file

Hi All,
I’ve been trying to get SonarQube to run locally on my Win11 machine.

Commands run (so you can see versions as well)
“C:\Program Files\SonarQube\sonarqube-10.5.1.90531\bin\windows-x86-64\StartSonar.bat”
“C:\Program Files\SonarQube\sonarqube-10.5.1.90531\sonarscannermsbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe” begin /k:“Arena-Client-CSharp” /d:“sonar.verbose=true”
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe” “C:\Builds\Perforce\MDN\MDN.sln” /t:Rebuild /p:TargetFramework=net47
“C:\Program Files\SonarQube\sonarqube-10.5.1.90531\sonarscannermsbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe” end

Shortened error log when running the last command:
13:18:06.892 DEBUG: GET 403 http://localhost:9000/api/plugins/installed | time=4ms

Things I’ve Tried:

  • I run all of the commands with CMD.exe as an Admin
  • In project permissions on my LocalHost I have given “Administrator” all the permissions.
  • In global permissions I have given “Administrator” all the permissions.
  • I have also tried adding sonar.projectKey of the project to the “sonar-scanner.properties” since I saw others had success with it. I also then tried to add sonar.organization to the file but I’m not a 100% sure this is correct as I can’t find that string anywhere on the localhost website.

Additional:

  • When I open http://localhost:9000/api/plugins/installed in Chrome it loads. When I open it in MS Edge I get {“errors”: [{“msg”: “Insufficient privileges”}]}
  • I created a BAT file with the last command in it and Right-Click->Run As Admin to see if it would help (it does not.)

Thanks for any help!
