Thank you for this, this fixed my issues with this other tutorial

Thanks a lot for this. Spent several hours trying to get this working when I happened upon this and saw the note about "Limit job authorization scope to current project for non-release pipelines"

Hello Bartek! I'm trying to enable my “Allow scripts to access the OAuth token” option, but I can't find it anywhere in my azure devops project. Could you guide me to find it? Apparently I'm using a YAML pipeline, but I can't find anywhere this option and I need to map this variable to my docker file restore my nuget packages. Thank you a lot for the tutorial!

Hi Lorenzo. As I remember (and re-read in documentation) you have the $(System.AccessToken) out of the box for YAML pipeline, and only map it to variable in the task configuration.
Checkbox Allow scripts to access the OAuth token is only for the classic pipeline.
