Navigating Azure DevOps Access Levels for Seamless Power BI Git Integration

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.
