As part of a release workflow, the newly built collection is published to galaxy but this step produces an error:

```auto
Run ansible-galaxy collection publish ./$NAMESPACE-$COLLECTION-$NEW_VERSION.tar.gz --api-key=***
  ansible-galaxy collection publish ./$NAMESPACE-$COLLECTION-$NEW_VERSION.tar.gz --api-key=***
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    pythonLocation: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.5/x64
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.5/x64/lib
    NEW_VERSION: 2.1.14
    NAMESPACE: cloin
    COLLECTION: eda
ERROR! Error when publishing collection to default (https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/) (HTTP Code: 403, Message: You do not have permission to perform this action. Code: permission_denied)
Publishing collection artifact '/home/runner/work/cloin.eda/cloin.eda/cloin-eda-2.1.14.tar.gz' to default https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

```

I tried regenerating the token and it failed again.

Upon logging into galaxy and looking at my namespaces, I can see that my namespaces lists “cloin0” instead of “cloin”. “cloin0” is empty. If I navigate to the url for the “cloin” namespace, I see my published collections.

I’m guessing that my publish command fails because I now do not have permissions on the “cloin” namespace, only “cloin0” which I did not create.

Hi [@galaxy](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/galaxy) team, I seem to recall this required some intervention on your side to fix. Can you take a look?

I’m having exactly the same problem.  
Getting a 403 when publishing a collection, and I seem to have a new namespace with a “0” appended.

@cloin We’ve deployed a patch that resolves the N namespace problem. I’ve also manually cleaned up your extra namespaces and fixed your account permissions. Please check again.

Hi @tannerjc  
Failing tests; same as @cloin faced  
Could you please do the same for me as well?

Hi @tannerjc! I am having the same issue faced by others in this thread.

My original namespace is: **borari**  
My newly auto-generated namespace is **borari0**

My first log in to Galaxy NG post-update was within the past 15 minutes.

Looks like issue is still here. I can’t push anymore, but theres another clone of my account with 0 prefix that probably can (according to this topic). Not sure if I should post this but my left side keeps laughing that I am already locked out 😅

Hi there, hikari661 should work. FWIW, just tested again, the problem still exists for me. Cheers.

Hi @tannerjc

rezizter

The incorrectly created one is rezizter0

Just as a note to anyone following this thread because they also posted in it with the same issue, I just checked my Galaxy NG account and my namespace is back to normal.

Hi @tannerjc , my account is still broken. Could you have a look?

FYI, I can publish to hikari6610 namespace, but would really like the original namespace back. Thanks.

Hi @tannerjc, can you also take a look at my namespace - I can no longer publish updates to my collection in the old namespace:

Old namespace: lowlydba  
New namespace: lowlydba0

Thank you!

I also have this issue. The only namespace that is showing for me is `flowerysong0`, and my real namespace has no owners.
