Permissions | Member of the Project Collection Administrators group. Organization owners are automatically members of this group. |
Microsoft Entra tenant | The Microsoft Entra tenant to which you want to invite external users allows adding new users, as per your Microsoft Entra guest policies. For more information, see how to become eligible to invite external users on your Microsoft Entra tenant. |
Policies | - External guest access turned On for the organization to which you want to invite external users. - Team and Project Administrators can only invite external users if the user policy, Allow team and project administrators to invite new users, is On. For more information, see Restrict invitations from Project and Team Administrators. - If the Invite GitHub users policy displays, you're recognized as a GitHub user and the GitHub invitation experience is available. For more information, see Enable GitHub invitations. |
Important
Required: Use a different email address or user principal name (UPN) for your personal and business accounts. This eliminates the challenge of disambiguating between your business and personal accounts when the email or UPN is the same.

).
Select Organization settings.
Select Users, and then select Add users.
Enter information based on the following guidance, and then select Add.
Advise the external user to locate the email that they received from AzureDevOps@microsoft.com
with the subject, You have been invited to an Azure DevOps project and select Join now. This final step adds the user to your organization. The invitation looks similar to the following image.
Note
If you need to resend the invitation email, go to Users > select the user > Resend invite.
The external user is added to the organization to which they were invited and has immediate access.
A guest user can add other guest users to the organization after being granted the Guest Inviter role in Microsoft Entra ID.
