Disconnect your organization from Microsoft Entra ID

Azure DevOps Services

To stop using your organization's Microsoft Entra ID and return to signing in with Microsoft accounts, disconnect your organization from the directory.

For more information about using Microsoft Entra ID with Azure DevOps, see the conceptual overview.

Prerequisites

  • Organization owner: Change the organization owner to a Microsoft account and not to a school or work account. You can't sign in to your organization unless your work or school account has the same email address as your Microsoft account.
  • Permissions: Add your Microsoft account to the Project Collection Administrator group in Organization settings.

For more information, see Manage Azure administrators.

What happens to current users? Users can migrate everything except work history. They can reconnect Visual Studio subscriptions and have their access levels reassigned to their new identities.

Important

If you want to connect your organization to a different Microsoft Entra ID, first disconnect any connected organizations from the original directory before deleting it. Once the new directory is established, connect your organization to it so users can regain access.
