Learn how to view your permissions or the permissions that are set for others in Azure DevOps. If you don't have a permission to access a feature or function, you can request it from the right resource.

Permissions are set at the collection, project, and object level as described in Get started with permissions, access, and security groups. So to view the permissions you have, you need to open the permissions at the object, project, or collection level.

Note

This article shows how to view permissions assigned to a user at the project-level or collection-level. However, the steps are similar when you work from the Security dialog of an object.

Prerequisites

  • You must have a project to connect to. If you don't have a project yet, create one.
  • You must be a member of the Project Valid Users Group or Project Collection Valid Users Group to view permissions.

View project-level permissions

  1. Open Project Settings. Choose the gear icon gear settings icon, and choose Security.

  2. Begin entering the name into the Filter users and groups box. The system automatically shows the names that begin with the characters you enter.

    Find a user account name

  3. Choose the name you want. The project-level permissions you have set are based on the groups you belong to or the permissions set for your account.
