There is not enough information here for us to properly identify the issue. If you look at the docs: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/community-repository/maintainers/common-errors/#error-403-unauthorized, there are a number of causes for a 403 error. None of them pertain to permissions to push.

Could you provide us with the package id and version you are trying to push?

I would also be interested to know where you got the idea that it was because the account wasn't enabled for pushing.
