Add or remove a team administrator
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Learn how to add or remove team administrators. We recommend having multiple users with administration permissions for redundancy. Team administrators can manage teams and configure team tools and oversee projects. Remove a user's administration permissions if the user is no longer active.
To add a team, see Add teams. To add or remove a project administrator, see Change project-level permissions.
Prerequisites
- Permissions: Be a member of the Project Administrators group, or a team administrator for the team you want to update.
- Access: To get added as a team administrator, have at least Basic access and ask another team administrator or a member of the [Project Administrators] (../security/look-up-project-administrators.md) group.
