In this writing, I like to share what I learned about how to add users to Azure DevOps Organization and Projects.
Learning how to add users to Azure DevOps organizations and projects is important for several reasons:
Collaboration and Version Control
Access Control and Security
Branching and Merging
Task Assignment and Work Item Tracking
Automated Build and Deployment Pipelines
Communication and Notifications
Audit and Compliance
Scalability and Growth
When establishing a connection to Azure DevOps as an organization owner, navigate to the organization settings, and proceed with the following steps:
As depicted in the figure above, allocate users or groups to one of the specified access levels for Power BI Git integration:
1. Basic Access:
- Provides access to most features.
- Assign to users with a Visual Studio Professional subscription, an Azure DevOps Server CAL, or those for whom Basic access is paid in the organization.
2. Stakeholder Access:
- Can be assigned to an unlimited number of users for free.
- Offers partial access to private projects and mostly full access to public projects.
- Assign to users without licenses or subscriptions who need limited access to specific features.
3. Visual Studio Subscriber:
- Assign to users with an existing Visual Studio subscription.
- The system automatically recognizes the user's subscription level (Visual Studio Enterprise, Visual Studio Professional, Visual Studio Test Professional, or MSDN Platform).
- Enables additional features based on their subscription level.
- If assigned Basic or Stakeholder, they also receive Visual Studio subscription benefits upon sign-in.
Understanding and navigating these access levels is key to optimizing collaboration, ensuring security, and streamlining development processes in Power BI projects within Azure DevOps. I hope this helps having fun in exploring each access level to empower team for success in Power BI Git integration.
