Installing my own extension in Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online)

Question

I'm trying to create a Build Task in Visual Studio Team Services. I've followed this guide: https://www.visualstudio.com/integrate/extensions/develop/add-build-task

I can complile the VIX-package and successfully upload it to the Marketplace.

However, when I try to "Install" it in my own (or another) Team Services then it says:

Only the Visual Studio Team Services account administrator can install this extension in account

I'm positive that I'm the "Account administrator" as I am the only user :) And, I have double checked in "Settings" that this is the case.

If I try to click "Request Install" then an e-mail is sent to the very same account I'm logged into. If I then click "Approve" in the e-mail then says that I have already requested this extension.

What to do?

Thanks!

Please try this again. This was some issue with VSTS on 3/10 that made the owners/admins cannot install extensions from Marketplace.

We've confirmed that all systems are back to normal as of 10 March 2016 15:00 UTC. Customers should no longer see any issues with Marketplace.

We understand that customers rely on VS Team Services as a critical service and apologize for any impact this incident caused.

We are actively investigating issues with Marketplace. A small subset of VSTS account owners/ admins will not be able to install extensions from Marketplace.

We are working to resolve this issue and apologize for any inconvenience.
