Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Stakeholder access is available to support free access to a limited set of features by an unlimited set of stakeholders. In general, Stakeholder access users gain limited access to Azure Boards and collaboration tools. They have no access to code repositories.
Stakeholder access users can create and modify work items and create and save queries. They can also view and approve release pipelines and perform administrative tasks when granted administrative permissions or added to an administrative group. If they need to contribute to the code base, then assign them at least Basic access.
If you're assigned Stakeholder access and want to start using Azure Boards to track work, see Get started as a Stakeholder. If you're tasked to support administrative tasks, see Manage your project.
Assign Stakeholder access users to a security group
In general, use the following guidance when assigning Stakeholder access users to a security group:
Add to the Contributors security group for managers or users who don't actively contribute to the code base but want to check project status and provide direction, feedback, feature ideas, and business alignment to a team.
Add to the Project Administrators security group for users tasked with managing project resources.
Add to the Project Collection Administrators security group for users tasked with managing organization or collection resources.
Public versus private feature access
Users with Stakeholder access privileges can access features based on whether the project is private or public. For private projects, Stakeholders have limited access to specific work tracking functions, whereas for public projects, Stakeholders enjoy full access to work tracking features. To learn more about public projects, see What is a public project?.
