GitHub: denied: permission_denied: write_package

Question

I am currently trying to run a docker GitHub Action which builds and pushes a docker image to the GitHub Packages but I am receiving an error which I have never seen. For some reason it fails to push the docker image because write_permission is denied but I have a token allowing me to write so I don't understand what the problem is.

This is my action file:

name: Docker Image CI

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Set up JDK 16
      uses: actions/setup-java@v1
      with:
        java-version: 16
    - name: Build with Maven
      run: mvn -f ACS/pom.xml clean install dependency:copy-dependencies
    - name: Login to GitHub Package Registry
      run: echo ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} | docker login docker.pkg.github.com -u ${{ github.repository }} --password-stdin
    - name: Build the Docker image
      run: docker build -t image:latest .
    - name: Tag the Docker image
      run: docker tag image:latest docker.pkg.github.com/organization/repository/image:latest
    - name: Push the Docker image to the registry
      run:  docker push docker.pkg.github.com/organization/repository/image:latest

This is my error:

Run docker push docker.pkg.github.com/organization/repository/image:latest The push refers to repository [docker.pkg.github.com/organization/repository/image] f0eaf014e806: Preparing 7d0bad636b3f: Preparing aa0870e7c621: Preparing 36d2f9f005e6: Preparing 22bb3686ee25: Preparing 05e198868a20: Preparing b5cea4a3dd43: Preparing 93c7a8a0e1f4: Preparing 7f4b55b885b0: Preparing 05e198868a20: Waiting b5cea4a3dd43: Waiting 93c7a8a0e1f4: Waiting 7f4b55b885b0: Waiting denied: permission_denied: write_package

For those interested, I managed to solve my issue although not quite sure how or more precisely which of the steps that I used, did help me solve the issue.

So basically, I first revoked my tokens and made a new one. Then I logged in to docker like this docker login -u USERNAME -p TOKEN ghcr.io while before I would use docker.pkg.github.com and then managed to push my docker image manually to GitHub Package Registry which then made the GitHub Action flow works as well, although I did change nothing there.

I hope that helps people who have the same issue.
