Insufficient privileges when uploading to sonarqube.com

Question

I am trying to upload the sonar analysis for my open-source project to sonarqube.com but am getting Insufficient privileges:

The following are the steps I have completed:

1. Logged into sonarqube.com via github
2. Generated a User-Token

3. Added the following maven properties:

   sonar.host.url=https://sonarqube.com

   sonar.login=token

4. Ran the build with sonar:sonar

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sonar.organization=...

Please note that this is described on the "Get Started" page:
