Azure DevOps Services

This article shows how to connect your Azure DevOps organization to Microsoft Entra ID. You can sign in with the same username and password that you use with Microsoft services. Add members to your Azure DevOps organization who are already a part of your work organization. You can also enforce policies for accessing your team's critical resources and key assets.

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

Prerequisites

  • Permissions: Be a member of the Project Collection Administrator group for the organization.

  • Access:

  • User management:

    • Confirm there are 100 or fewer users in your organization. If your organization has more than 100 users, contact Support to resolve any disconnected users. You can map them to their Microsoft Entra identities in the new tenant.
    • Don't add the users from the destination Microsoft Entra ID into the Azure DevOps organization.
    • Delete unwanted users from your organization. For example, you can remove a user who left the company and is no longer an employee.

  • Inform users of the upcoming change. There's no downtime during this change, but users are affected. Let them know before you begin that there's a short series of steps they need to complete. As your company transitions from Microsoft account (MSA) to Microsoft Entra identities, your users' benefits continue with their new identity, as long as their emails match.

  • Compare your Azure DevOps email list with your Microsoft Entra ID email list. Create a Microsoft Entra ID email address entry for every user who's in the Azure DevOps organization and not in the Microsoft Entra ID. Afterward, you can invite users as guests who don't have Microsoft Entra ID email addresses.

Note

Ensure you're using Microsoft Entra Public. Connecting Azure DevOps Services organizations to Microsoft Entra Government and accessing Azure DevOps Services with user accounts from Microsoft Entra Government isn't supported.

  5. Rename your Microsoft account (MSA). Rename your MSA to a different email that doesn't conflict with your Microsoft Entra identity. Doing so ensures that you aren't prompted to choose between accounts.

  6. (Optional) Adjust your visual Studio (VS) subscription. If the UPN used inside your organization changed, adjust your Visual Studio subscription. You can reassign the subscription to your new UPN, or set that UPN as the alternate account inside the subscription. For more information, see how to add an alternate account to your subscription.
