Set branch permissions

  • Artículo

TFS 2018

Set up permissions to control who can read and update the code in a branch on your Git repo. You can set permissions for individual users and groups, and inherit and override permissions as needed from your repo permissions.

Important

Select a version from Azure DevOps Content Version selector.

Select the version of this article that corresponds to your platform and version. The version selector is above the table of contents. Look up your Azure DevOps platform and version.

Use the branches view to configure security

  1. Open the Branches page by navigating to your project in the web portal and selecting Code, Branches.

    Open up the Branches page on the web

  2. Locate your branch in the page. You can browse the list or you can search for your branch using the Search all branches box in the upper right.

Add users or groups

Tip

You can only add permissions for users and groups already in your Project. Add new users and groups to your Project before setting branch permissions.

Add users or groups to your branch permissions by selecting Add.
Enter the sign-in address or group alias, then select Save Changes.

Remove users or groups

Remove permissions for a user or group by selecting the user or Azure DevOps group, then selecting Remove. The user or group will still exist in your Project and this change will not affect other permissions for the user or group.

Remove branch permissions for a user in Azure DevOps Services or TFS

Set permissions

Control branch permission settings from the branch permission view. Users and groups with permissions set at the repository level will inherit those permissions by default. To learn more about how permissions work, see Permission settings.
