Hi Thomas Gammelby Lodberg

Could you please follow the below steps to resolve this issue:

1. Go to Azure Portal -> Subscriptions -> Ensure your subscription is active.
2. Ensure the Service Principal has Contributor or Owner access to the subscription.
3. Ensure Your Azure DevOps Org Is Connected to Microsoft Entra ID -> Go to Azure DevOps -> Organization Settings -> Microsoft Entra ID.
4. Go to Project Settings -> Service Connections -> Create new Service Connection -> Select Docker Registry -> Instead of selecting the service principal, try selecting the Others for Registry type and enter the required details. or You can select the Registry type as Azure Container Registry -> Authentication type -> Managed Service Identity.
