No permissions found for security namespace while develop extension for Sure DevOps TFS 2020

Question

Im trying to develop a custom extension to my enterprise On-Premise TFS 2020.

When I upload the extension and try to open it I get error in the chrome console: "No permissions found for security namespace {Git repositories namespace ID} and token {The token of the specific repo}. Ensure that the effective permissions are included in shared data"

I don't know how to grant permissions to make it work.

Another problem Im facing is the location of the extension. No matter what I put in the "categories" field in the manifest of the extension, It put it in the Azure Repos category.

Above error is a known issue and has been reported to Microsoft. You can go join the discussion in this thread.

However, You can just ignore above error. Your extension will still be functioning even if you see this error in the browser console. See my answer to this thread.

For the problem of the extension's location, it is not decided by what you put in thecategories. The location is controlled by the Targeting contributions you specified in the targets field of the manifest. See below:

"contributions": [
        {
            "id": "my-custom-hub",
            "type": "ms.vss-web.hub",
            "targets": [
                "ms.vss-code-web.code-hub-group"
            ],
            "properties": {
                "name": "Code Hub",
                "order": 30,
                "uri": "/views/code/custom.html"
            }
        }
    ]

Check the document of Contribution Model for more information.

Check the all the Targetable hub groups you can place your extension in.
