Add users to Azure Pipelines
TFS 2017 | TFS 2015
Permissions for build and release pipelines are primarily set at the object-level for a specific build or release, or for select tasks, at the collection level.
You can manage security for different types of resources such as variable groups, secure files, and deployment groups by adding users or groups to that role. Project administrator can grant or restrict access to project resources. If you want to allow a team member to edit pipelines, you must be a project administrator in order to do so.

From within your project, select Build and Release, and then select Builds to access your build pipelines.
Select Security to set the permissions for all build pipelines.
To set permissions for a specific build pipeline, select the context menu for that build and select Security.
