I have one Azure DevOps Organization tight with Active Directory name ABC(AD name). I have a user from another active directory(AD name - CDE) need access to the Azure devops organization but I can't find it's username in the user list. How I can add the CDE active directory into the organization so in future the user from this 2 AD can access to the Azure DevOps organization.
Thank you.
I am afraid that an Azure DevOps Organization is not supported to connect to 2 AAD directory at a time.
When your organization links AAD, it can only choose one AAD to link.
How I can add the CDE active directory into the organization so in future the user from this 2 AD can access to the Azure DevOps organization.
You can add the required users from CDE active directory to ABC AAD directory as Guest Role.
Then you can find the user name and add the user to Organization.
Or you can directly search the user via user email in Organization Settings -> Users.
Even if you can't see the corresponding user name in the drop down list, the invited mailbox can still accept the invitation and join the organization
Then the user will be added to current AAD as a Guest Role by default.
Note: In order for the AAD Guest user to access the organization, you need to make sure the option: External guest access is turned on in Organization Settings -> Policies.
For more detailed info, you can refer to the docs: Add external users to your organization and Quickstart: Add a guest user and send an invitation
Update:
To grant the Guest Inviter Role in Azure AD, you can navigate to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Roles and administrators -> Search Guest Inviter Role and grant the role to your account.

Currently my organization in Azure DevOps contains two users: myname#mycompany.com (Personal Account) and myname#mycompany.com (Work Account).
myname#mycompany.com (Work Account) is the organization owner. When I log into devops with this account, I cannot do anything without avoid the user being switched to the Personal Account automatically.
The personal account does not have permission to manage users nor change and organization settings. So I am kind of stuck.
My end goal is to link this organization to our Azure Ad tennant, that my Work Account is member of.
How can I fix that?
If you want to use the AAD identity of the same email address to access the organization, you first need to check whether the organization is connected to AAD like this in the Azure Active Directory of the organization settings.
Secondly, when you log in, please select Work or school account. This happens when you sign in with an email address that's shared by your personal Microsoft account and by your work account or school account.
Select Work or school account if you used this identity to create
your organization, or if you previously signed in with this identity.
Your identity is authenticated by your organization's directory in
Azure AD, which controls access to your organization.
Select Personal account if you used your Microsoft account with Azure
DevOps. Your identity is authenticated by the global directory for
Microsoft accounts.
In addition, you can open a private or incognito browsing session and sign in, which can avoid the influence of the identity cached by the browser.
Here is the document about troubleshooting access via Azure AD you can refer to.
I disconnected my organization from Azure Active Directory and now it's missing from both my Microsoft account and this AAD.
It also didn't appear in recently deleted organizations.
It is still existing somewhere because I cannot create organization with the same name.
Before disconnecting it I double-checked that I am the owner of organization and it should remain on my account.
Lost organization after disconnecting it from Azure Active Directory
I had the same issue once, that was because I did not meet the prerequisites for disconnecting from AAD.
You could check if you meet the prerequisites for disconnecting from AAD based on this document:
Disconnect your organization from Azure Active Directory
Before you disconnect your organization from your directory, make
sure to change the organization Owner to a Microsoft account and not
to a school or work account. You can't sign in to your organization
unless your work or school account has the same email address as your
Microsoft account.
Add your Microsoft account to the Project Collection Administrator
group in Organization Settings and confirm that you have Global
Administrator Permissions in your Azure AD for your Microsoft
account. You need both because Azure AD users can't disconnect
organizations from directories. You can add Microsoft accounts to a
directory as external users.
As workaround, please try to access https://aex.dev.azure.com/ and change domain to see if your organization lists here:
Hope this helps.
I want to have a list off all the organizations within one subscription.
Some people have made their own organizations and i can see them
You can download a complete list of organizations backed by an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. Check the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/get-list-of-organizations-connected-to-azure-active-directory?view=azure-devops
Using any organization backed by your Azure AD, complete the following
steps.
Sign in to your organization (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}).
Select Organization settings.
Select Azure Active Directory, and then Download.
I am trying to connect an existing MS-based DevOps organisation to our AAD (O365). I have a user account nnn#outlook.com in DevOps that is both Organization Owner and a Collection Administrator.
The same outlook.com account is a Member of the target Tenant directory. I can login to portal.azure.com using that account and see all the details of the AAD. I have made the account a Global Administrator.
When I click Connect Directory, I get a list of the tenants that account has access to. My target is there and I have confirmed that the Tenant ID matches.
When trying to connect I get the error message:
"User: nnnn#outlook.com is not allowed to link organization: xxxx to AAD tenant: zzzzz. Only active members of the AAD tenant are allowed to perform the link."
I tried creating a clean guest account, PS'd it to become a Member, but get the same result.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
On the Users tab I'm trying to add a new user but the prompt says "Select user from directory" and when typing an email address to invite it just says "No identities found". This is a newly created account with default settings not linked to any azure subscription.
The settings show Allow External Guest Access which I assume should allow any microsoft account to be invited.
According to the screenshot you provided, your VSTS account is backed by an Azure Active Directory which requires that all users are directory members before they can get access to your Team Services account. So you need to add the user to your AAD first.
"External guest access" is used for external users who are added as guests through Office 365 or added using B2B collaboration by your Azure AD administrator.
Q: Can I control access to my Team Services account for external users in the connected directory?
A: Yes, but only for external users who are added as guests through
Office 365 or added using B2B collaboration by your Azure AD
administrator. These external users are managed outside the connected
directory. To learn more, contact your Azure AD administrator. The
setting below doesn't affect users who are added directly to your
organization's directory.
