Azure DevOps pipeline, gets "You need the Git 'GenericContribute' permission to perform this action" error

Question

Hi,

I used the Azure DevOps pipeline to update a README.md file in my repo every Monday. This works well for the projects I set up a few months ago. I set up a new project in the same way today, but it doesn't work, reporting a "You need the Git 'GenericContribute' permission to perform this action" error.

I know I need to set up some contribute permissions to allow the push, but I couldn't find those options.

Could you please help me with this? Thank you!
