- Release deployments and approvals
Requirements and limitations
| Category | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Permissions | - To create Azure DevOps subscriptions in Teams: Member of the Project Administrators group. - To receive Azure DevOps notifications in Teams: Third party application access via OAuth enabled in your Azure DevOps organization settings. |
| Microsoft Entra | Only Azure DevOps organizations in the same Microsoft Entra tenant as your Microsoft Teams account can be connected. Even if your email addresses are the same for Azure DevOps and Microsoft Teams, they can't be linked if they're backed by different tenants. For more information, see Access via Microsoft Entra FAQs. |
Note
Office 365 Connectors within Teams are retired. For more information, see Retirement of Office 365 connectors within Microsoft Teams. Features that provide similar functionality to Office 365 Connectors with better scalability and security include Workflows or the Azure DevOps Services apps for Teams.
Azure DevOps Services apps for Teams
Note
This feature is only available on Azure DevOps Services. Typically, new features are introduced in the cloud service first, and then made available on-premises in the next major version or update of Azure DevOps Server. For more information, see Azure DevOps Feature Timeline.
Add the Azure DevOps Server app to a team
The Azure DevOps Server connector sends notifications about activities in your projects.
