Request and approve extensions
TFS 2018
If you don't have permissions to install extensions, you can request extensions instead. Project Collection Administrators receive an email when another project member requests an extension. Azure DevOps automatically installs the extension once it's approved.
- To request extensions, you must be a contributor for your organization.
- To approve extensions, you must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group and have Edit collection-level information permissions.
Select an extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace > Azure DevOps.
Select the project collection where you want to install the extension. If you don't have permission to install the extension, request it now.
You can review your requests after the Marketplace sends the request to your Project Collection or Project Administrator.
Your requests appear on your Manage extensions page.
To approve extensions, you must have edit collection-level information permissions.
Go to your project,
https://{server}:8080/tfs/{team-project-collection}/{team-project}
.Select the shopping bag icon, and then Manage extensions.
Review and approve your requested extensions.
After you approve extension requests, the extensions automatically get installed.
Assign those extensions to users who need access.
Tell your team about installed extensions, so they can start using their capabilities.
