Default permissions and access set for collaboration tools
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Collaboration tools encompass READMEs, team project wikis, notifications, feedback, and search.
Most of the collaboration tools are available to you if you're a team member or a member of the Contributors group for a team project. The most common built-in groups include Readers, Contributors, and Project Administrators. For a simplified view of all default permissions assigned to built-in groups, see Default permissions and access.
Stakeholders are allowed limited access to view the charts and dashboards. For more information, see About access levels.
