Hello Wu Ziying,
I am translating the answers from English, so please excuse any grammar issues.
This can be a bit tricky because having Project Administrator rights doesn't automatically grant you the permission to delete items like backlogs.
Here's what you can try:
- Check Your Permissions: Although you're a Project Administrator, there might be additional permissions required. Ensure that you have the "Delete team project" permission set to Allow. You can do this by going to Project settings > Permissions and checking your role assignments.
- Role Assignments: Sometimes, permissions can get a bit complicated due to inheritance. Use the Azure portal to check if you need Owner or Contributor rights instead. Here's how you can grant those rights:
- Go to the Azure portal.
- Navigate to Access control (IAM) > Role assignments.
- Add role assignments and select who needs access (Role assignments steps).
- Navigate to Access control (IAM) > Role assignments.
- Go to the Azure portal.
- Effective Permissions: It's a good idea to check your effective permissions to see if there's a "Deny" that might be overriding your rights. You can look this up directly to confirm your settings (View project-level permissions).
- Deny Permissions: If you’re somehow inheriting a "Deny" permission from another group, this can prevent you from deleting backlogs. Ensure that no broader group is restricting your permissions.
If you've checked all the above and still can't delete the backlogs, here are a few follow-up questions to understand your situation better:
- Are there any error messages that pop up when you try to delete the backlogs?
- Have you confirmed that your project settings do allow for backlog deletion?
- Are there any custom permission configurations that might impact your ability to delete items?
