Permissions lookup guide for Azure DevOps

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

Use this index to locate the article on how to manage a specific permission. Most permissions are managed through the user interface for an object, project, or collection. Other permissions are managed by adding users and groups to a role.

Note

You can manage permissions through a command line tool or REST API. Some permissions are only managed through these tools. To learn more, see Security and permission management tools and Security namespace and permission reference.

If you're new to Azure DevOps, review Get started with permissions, access, and security groups and About security roles.

Values in parenthesis indicate what level the permission is managed:

  • Object: Permissions are managed at the object-level
  • Project: Permissions are managed at the project level
  • Collection: Permissions are managed at the account or project collection level
  • Role: Permissions are managed through a security role.
  • Server: Permissions are managed at the instance level for a server
  • Team: Permissions are managed via the team administrator role.
