Manage paid access for users
TFS 2018
You can assign and remove users and get billed according to those assignments, rather than complete a purchase process. This article helps you take advantage of the tools we have for managing paid access for users. This way you only pay for what you need.
For more information, learn how to manage paid access to Azure Boards, Azure Repos, and Azure Test Plans.
Visual Studio subscribers get access included with their subscription, and their subscription gets detected when they sign in to Azure DevOps for the first time.
