Complete the form:
- Name your token
- Select All accessible organizations, which is the only value that works when publishing via CLI. If you select only one organization, it results in an error, even if the PAT is valid
- Select an expiration time frame for your token. This is required because the Visual Studio Marketplace publishing APIs work outside of the context of an organization
- Set the scope of access associated with this token. Be sure to select the Marketplace (publish) scope. This scope limits the token to only being able to publish extensions to the Marketplace.
- Select Create
