I was moved from one DevOps organisation to another and access to the old org was removed. This caused my MS Teams DevOps plugin to stop working in private chats, but was fine in team channels.
When I tried to open the app settings, I got a white window with a JSON that suggested a permission problem.
How do I connect the app to the new organisation?
Trying to open the app settings using the Teams webpage I got a popup that let me read the request URL and I saw the two GET parameters for organisation and project ID.
Removing those two parameters gave me a screen to select an organisation and a project. The tab closed right away and the integration is fixed.
I guess replacing the project_id and tfs_uri with the correct data from the target project would work, too, but that's the purpose of the section page, already.
Going to the app settings now yields this exact selection page, by the way, so this is a bug in the DevOps Teams app. There's one line of information at the top that apparently requires access to the DevOps organisation and needlessly gates the whole dialog behind organisation access permissions.

We have moved our project to a different organization on Azure Devops. For those visiting the old project, we want to display a banner notifying the user of our new location.
I have found this documentation online to add a banner:
https://microsoft.visualstudio.com/_settings/ms-eswm.banner-settings-hub.hub
However we only want the banner to apply to the project, not the entire organization. Is that possible?
How to add a Banner to a specific Project on Azure Devops
For this issue, I am afraid this is currently impossible to achieve in azure devops. Azure DevOps enables you to put a banner message on the top of the browser window to display a message. Every page on Azure DevOps will show this message until the user closes the banner bar, or the message expires.
There are two ways to add a banner: Banner Settings Extension and Azure DevOps CLI. Neither of these two ways can only add a banner to a specific project. The parameter of the specified project is not provided in the az devops cli.
So currently, you can only write the project that needs the user's attention in the banner message. In addition, you could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it.
I've had a standalone Azure Devops Organisation (call it MyOrg1) for quite a while, and I've recently linked it to my Azure Active Directory, and set my Azure AD user myname#my-azure-ad as the organisation owner.
This seemed to work ok. I can go directly to the URL dev.azure.com/MyOrg1, and see all my projects etc. All good so far.
The problem is that if instead I go directly to dev.azure.com, and login as my Azure AD user, it doesn't seem to recognise that this user is already associated with an existing devops account. It instead prompts me with the "Get started with Azure DevOps" screen with the option to "Continue".
If I choose "Continue" it then creates a new Organization for me like "[myname]1234".
So far this is mostly just a nuisance, but not a huge problem. However the more significant problem is that in Visual Studio, I'm not able to see MyOrg1. It will only list the new organisation "[myname]1234". If I attempt to manually add the server URL "dev.azure.com/MyOrg1" it won't work, and doesn't seem to recognise that the user myname#my-azure-ad has access to this organisation.
It shows the message "To access an Azure DevOps account, login using the picker above". The picker already shows my user myname#my-azure-ad
In the MyOrg1 organization settings, I can see that my account is definitely listed as the organisation owner, and I can see that my Azure AD is definitely linked.
I can't figure out what could be wrong. Everything looks correct, but it just doesn't work.
Just in case it makes a difference, organisation MyOrg1 is in a different region to my Azure AD. I can't really see why that would matter though, since it seemed to link it just fine.
I managed to correct the issue by doing the following...
Create a new Global Admin user account in AAD
Add this user to the DevOps organisation and set as owner
Remove my original myname#my-azure-ad from the DevOps org
Re-add myname#my-azure-ad to the org and re-assign as the owner
The only thing I can conclude is that because myname#my-azure-ad was originally added to the org before the org was linked to the AAD that this must have messed something up.
We have a DevOps project we've been using for over a year now and we needed to add a new developer to the team. I was able to add the user to the organization, he replied to the invite, and I have added him to the contributor group.
After adding him I then went to my project and opened up that project's Team Settings. When I click Add and try to find his name I am getting a spinning status graphic and "Loading..." but it does not find the user. It does not give me an error or a "No Results Found". Eventually it just resets back as though I first landed on the page.
I thought this could be a permissions issue so I removed an existing user in the group. Right after removing I tried to re-add the user and cannot. I get the same results. I know this user is using the project and has permission to get the code and check in changes. So it does not seem to be an issue with the original new user.
My next move was to try to do this using the Azure CLI but it turns out that adding a user to a project is not currently supported by the CLI, only adding the user to the organization is currently supported. I also searched for this particular error and can't find anyone else having this issue.
There was a [[[bug]]] in the Azure portal. Users could not be added from the Team page. However, I had a widget on my dashboard for Users and it had the ability to add a User. When I used this widget I was able to add users. I could add the ones I deleted during testing and the new user.
In the Azure DevOps project I'm currently working on, I am unable to use the # mention feature and am not able to assign work items to other users because no users are ever found. I am aware that you should be able to search for other users if they don't initially show-up in the drop-down list, but searching always returns "No identities found".
Other members of my team that have elevated permissions than I do can use these features because they are able to search for any other user in the same Azure DevOps project. My project administrator gave-up trying to figure-out why these features won't work for me.
Is there a setting in the Azure DevOps Project Settings Permissions that enables or disables the ability to view other user names?
Here is an example of me trying to look-up my own name to assign a bug to myself without success:
And here is an example of me trying to #mention a user in a bug discussion section without success:
* Update *
When my project administrator gives me project administrator rights, I am able to #mention others. Obviously, that isn't the desired user level for a non admin like myself.
Working with the 'Track & Plan' feature of the IBM Bluemix DevOps Services generates a lot of email notifications to my co-workers and me. For example, notifications are sent out for each work item creation, modification or assignment. As the number of such mails is overwhelming, I would like to deactivate them.
If I had full access to the underlying RTC instance I would go about this as outlined in the RTC Knowledge Center - Configuring notifications in the web client.
So far I haven't been able to find a comparable configuration page in the version hosted on DevOps Services. Also, the Bluemix DevOps Services Documentation (e.g. Track and plan) didn't yield any hints in that direction.
Is there a way to disable these notifications either completely or at least partly? If so, how?
You can disable email notifications by following the instructions here:
https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/185255/configuring-track-plan-email-notifications.html
Find your name on a full page workitem and click on it (could be in created by, subscribed, mentioned in a comment, ...)
You'll land in a page that has your profile and some license information...ignore that. Take the URL from the browser window and paste it into a text editor or some text buffer somewhere. e.g. https://hub.jazz.net/jts08/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfileâ˘emId=_yyeAwKGKEeSa6LqyswPPCA
Go back to the Track&Plan view click on "Track & Plan" drop down and select the "Project Dashboard". You should now have a URL that looks like: https://hub.jazz.net/ccm08/web/projects/dleroux%20%7C%20TestNewSprint#action=com.ibm.team.dashboard.viewDashboard
Take the action portion from URL in 2 and replace the action portion of the url in 3 giving you something like: https://hub.jazz.net/ccm08/web/projects/dleroux%20%7C%20TestNewSprint#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfileâ˘emId=_yyeAwKGKEeSa6LqyswPPCA
Navigate to the URL...select "Mail configuration"
