401 Unauthorized when using a private package (on github registry)

[hpandelo]

Version: Deno 2.2.3 x-deno-ray: fd06651086befa7f2afe627adc6fe5df

I looked the docs and search a lot, but couldn't find any solution for this issue:

I'm running the build step creating the .npmrc file Currently the Build Step works well. But the deploy fails with the error bellow: Error: The deployment failed: HTTP status client error (401 Unauthorized) for url (https://npm.pkg.github.com/@<company>%2fshared-lib)

Note: I tried with permissions.package: read and permissions.package: write usong the ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}} but haven't worked since the package is outside the repo so I changed to use a PAT

Part of my github actions file:

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deploy
    environment: Production
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions:
      packages: write # Needed to install private packages
      id-token: write # Needed for auth with Deno Deploy
      contents: read # Needed to clone the repository

     ....
    steps:
      - name: Clone repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Install Deno
        uses: denoland/setup-deno@v2
        with:
          deno-version: v2.2.3

      - name: Build step
        run: |
          cd backend/deno
          echo "@<company>:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/" > .npmrc
          echo "//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${{ secrets.GH_ACCESS_TOKEN }}" >> .npmrc
          echo "Caching the index.ts" && deno cache index.ts --allow-import
          echo "Running the build" && deno task build --environment production

      - name: Upload to Deno Deploy
        uses: denoland/deployctl@v1
        with:
          project: "<project name>"
          entrypoint: "index.ts" # 📝 Update the entrypoint
          root: "./backend/deno" # 📝 Update the root
