Rename your organization in Azure DevOps

  • Grein

Azure DevOps Services

You can change your organization name (URL) at any time in Azure DevOps. This action allows you to update the URL to better reflect your organization's branding or structure. Changing the organization name updates the URL used to access your Azure DevOps resources, but it doesn't affect your projects, repositories, or other resources within the organization. Follow the steps in this article to rename your organization and ensure a smooth transition for your team.

Caution

The rename operation affects your organization's connections and individuals who are currently working with your organization. Before you start, meet the prerequisites and find out what to do after renaming your organization.

Prerequisites

  • Permissions: Be an owner of your organization. For more information, see Change the organization owner.
  • Access levels: Have at least Basic access.
  • Preparation:
    • Save your work.
    • Ensure other members aren't using the service.

Note

Wait at least one hour after the most recent rename operation before renaming an organization again.
