Pipeline does not have permissions to use the referenced pool(s)

When you encounter the error message “pipeline does not have permissions to use the referenced pool(s)”, it means that the pipeline in question does not have the necessary permissions to use the configured agent pool(s). This error often occurs in a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline scenario.

To resolve this issue, you need to grant the appropriate permissions to the pipeline. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Log in to your pipeline management platform (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.).
  2. Navigate to the pipeline in question or the settings related to agent pools.
  3. Look for the permissions or security settings. The exact location may vary depending on the platform you are using.
  4. Ensure that the pipeline or the user account associated with the pipeline has the necessary permissions to access and utilize the agent pool(s).
  5. Save the changes and run the pipeline again. The error should no longer occur if the permissions were correctly configured.

Here’s an example to illustrate the scenario:

    
      <div class="pipeline">
        <p>Pipeline does not have permissions to use the referenced agent pool(s).</p>
      </div>
    
  

In this example, the error is displayed in a `

` element with the class name “pipeline”. This allows for easy styling or further customization based on your needs.

Remember, the exact steps and terminology may vary depending on the CI/CD platform you are using. Consult the platform’s documentation or seek assistance from your administrator if you encounter any difficulties.
