Azure DevOps Services

Security groups are used to manage permissions and access as described in Get started with permissions, access, and security groups. For example, members of the Contributors group or Project Administrators group are assigned the permissions that are allowed for those groups.

Azure DevOps is pre-configured with default security groups. You can add and manage security groups for your organization or project with the az devops security group commands. Use this command to perform the following tasks.

Create a new security group
View security groups and security group details
Update or delete a security group
Manage security group memberships for groups and users

You must have installed the Azure DevOps CLI extension as described in Get started with Azure DevOps CLI.
