Research direction

Start in azure-devops/azure/devops/v7_1/build/build_client.py and reproduce the successful get_artifact call alongside get_artifact_content_zip with the reported project, build, and artifact values. Compare how the two entry points handle authorization and artifact access. Done means the zip request works with the stated Build Read PAT scope, or the limitation and required permission are clearly identified.

Description

I reported this issue with Azure support and they asked me to contact the product team directly.

I'm using a PAT which has the Build Read scope

7.1.0b4 version of the Devops library is installed as a dependency

----------------------------------

----------------------------------
Requirement already satisfied: azure-devops in ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) (7.1.0b4)

I will be referring to functions in https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/azure-devops/azure/devops/v7_1/build/build_client.py

I am able to call the following function get_artifact("dev-control-plane-deployments", 689011, artifact_name="output") and get a successful response as follows,

{'additional_properties': {}, 'id': 244186, 'name': 'output', 'resource': <azure.devops.v7_0.build.models.ArtifactResource object at 0x10580e5a0>, 'source': '6f0348f4-34df-5a9a-6f7a-f9fecb8e1bf8'}

However when I try to download the artifact zip using get_artifact_content_zip("dev-control-plane-deployments", 689011, artifact_name="output") I get the following error response

TF400813: The user 'aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa' is not authorized to access this resource.

Please help me find a solution so I can use get_artifact_content_zip() to download the artifact zip file

Note that I am able to download the artifact directly from the pipeline run via the web browser, its just the API call that does not seem to work
