Problem to solve

I have build a NuGet package and pushed it to its package registry. Now i have another project where i want to use that package.
The NuGet sources on the Runner are persistent.

So i have to add the nuget source in a case, that every other user can consume it. While pushing the package i used user “gitlab-ci-token” and as password “$CI_JOB_TOKEN”. That isn’t possible to use for adding a source, because the $CI_JOB_TOKEN is just usable in the special job.

So what would be the right way to add sources inside CI/CD pipeline for using it and not getting 401? Exists a internal user who can used for adding sources with their UserName and Token?

Steps to reproduce

See next paragraph.

     nuget source Add -Name $NUGET_SOURCE_NAME -Source $NUGET_SOURCE_URL -UserName gitlab-ci-token -Password $CI_JOB_TOKEN -StorePasswordInClearText
     Write-Host "Die NuGet-Quelle '$NUGET_SOURCE_NAME' wurde hinzugefĂĽgt."
