    You can try waiting for a few minutes and confirm whether the extension is available to use, and then run the generator again

  9. Q: Error while creating query: TF401256: You do not have Write permissions for query Shared Queries:
    A: In Azure DevOps, users have different access levels - Basic, Stakeholder and Visual Studio Subscriber. Access levels determine what features are available to users. In order to provision projects using the demo generator, you need at least a Basic access level. This error indicates the user has a stakeholder license which does not grant permissions to writing shared queries.
    You should change the access level, from stakeholder to basic. Please refer to this article on docs: Add users to your organization or project for more information on how to add users to your organization, and specify the level of features they can use.
