Stakeholder access quick reference

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

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, Azure Pipelines, 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 you must assign them Basic or higher-level access.

If you've been assigned Stakeholder access and want to start using Azure Boards to track work, see Get started as a Stakeholder. If you've been 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 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 users tasked with managing project resources.
  • Add to the Project Collection Administrators security group users tasked with managing organization or collection resources.

Work tracking

The following table summarizes the features Stakeholder access users have access to from Azure Boards. Stakeholders access users can view and edit all work items for which they have Area Path permissions, which by default is set to Allow for all user security groups. To learn more, see Set permissions and access for work tracking.

For an overview of work tracking features, see What is Azure Boards?
