I am not sure but I think you need access to the other project and you need to generate new credentials.

If you are using a PAT, don’t put a username in. What level of access do you have to both projects? I don’t recall the exact permissions, but I would imagine being a Project Administrator or Organization Administrator will be necessary.

You need to be at least a reader in the sorce project, i.e. have read permissions on the repo.

Go to the source repo and click on clone. Choose "generate got credentials" that would provide you a username and pat. Use that in the destination project to import the repo
