I am trying to push a model to my model repo and it is giving me an error saying I dont have write access. I have created a write token and I am passing that into hugging face for authentication. I’m not sure what’s going wrong here. It says I successfully login and have write access. ```auto !huggingface-cli login ``` ```auto _| _| _| _| _|_|_| _|_|_| _|_|_| _| _| _|_|_| _|_|_|_| _|_| _|_|_| _|_|_|_| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _|_| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _|_|_|_| _| _| _| _|_| _| _|_| _| _| _| _| _| _|_| _|_|_| _|_|_|_| _| _|_|_| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _|_| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _| _|_| _|_|_| _|_|_| _|_|_| _| _| _|_|_| _| _| _| _|_|_| _|_|_|_| To login, `huggingface_hub` requires a token generated from https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens . Token: Add token as git credential? (Y/n) n Token is valid (permission: write). Your token has been saved to /root/.cache/huggingface/token Login successful ``` Then I go to push the model and it does not work. ```auto model.push_to_hub('kaylub/testing') #Private repo, I created to test this. ``` ```auto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTTPError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/huggingface_hub/utils/_errors.py in hf_raise_for_status(response, endpoint_name) 285 try: --> 286 response.raise_for_status() 287 except HTTPError as e: 10 frames HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/kaylub/testing/preupload/main The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: HfHubHTTPError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/huggingface_hub/utils/_errors.py in hf_raise_for_status(response, endpoint_name) 331 # Convert `HTTPError` into a `HfHubHTTPError` to display request information 332 # as well (request id and/or server error message) --> 333 raise HfHubHTTPError(str(e), response=response) from e 334 335 HfHubHTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/kaylub/testing/preupload/main (Request ID: Root=1-65b2b5c0-1f99eb0b23b2db4c672e41f1;cec81efe-b59d-483c-ba38-da4dcddca49a) Forbidden: you must use a write token to upload to a repository. ``` I also tried to passing the token into push\_to\_hub and tried authenticating using the hugging face python package but it didnt seem to work either. ---

I am facing this issue and am unable to push any finetuned transformer model to 🤗Hub. Did you resolve this? Is there any resolution for this? ---

do ```auto import huggingface_hub huggingface_hub.logout() ``` then again login with write token. This should work.
