Hi, I am trying to publish the consumer contract to pactflow instance, here's the code I use. First time with the same token it is successful but subsequent attempts to publish results in this error.

-> "Forbidden. Either you are using a read only token for a request that requires a write token (the most likely cause), or you do not have the required permissions.\n"
read 162 bytes
Conn keep-alive
Forbidden. Either you are using a read only token for a request that requires a write token (the most likely cause), or you do not have the required permissions.

publish-pact:
  stage: publish_pact
  image: pactfoundation/pact-cli:latest
  needs:
    - build-and-test
  script:
    - echo "Publishing consumer pacts to Pact Broker"
    - >-
      pact-broker publish target/pacts
      --broker-base-url="${PACTFLOW_HOST_URL}"
      --broker-token="${PACTFLOW_IAM_READ_WRITE_TOKEN}"
      --consumer-app-version="${CI_COMMIT_SHA}"
      --branch="${CI_COMMIT_BRANCH}"
      --merge
      --verbose
  artifacts:
    when: always
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH

What roles / permissions does it have?

CI/CD role

And chance you could please share logs of both calls with

--verbose

enabled?

merge was something I added to test if it fixes, it’s the same issue without. I have sent you the log of publish in non working case. For working case I have it without since I couldn’t make it work without.
