To fix the issue, we need to add a permissions block to the workflow file. This block should specify the least privileges required for the workflow to function correctly. Since the workflow involves deploying artifacts and pushing NuGet packages, we can set contents: read for accessing repository contents and packages: write for pushing packages. Other permissions can be omitted unless explicitly required.
The permissions block can be added at the root level of the workflow to apply to all jobs or within individual jobs to tailor permissions for specific tasks.
