We have created a field in all Work Items, named "Manager" to assign the Manager of the developer/tester, to whom the work item is assigned to. Now that person in the Manager field is not getting any email Notification when the assignee updates the work item.
Tried setting the notification, but creating notification for every work item is not feasible.
I tried with setting rules, but doesn't seem to have the right conditions and actions available.
I read about third party tools like power automate. Before jumping into that solution, I would like to know if this can be achieved with the existing configuration settings in Azure Devops

I am afraid that azure devops currently does not provide built-in configuration settings to achieve this requirement.

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.

After hours of googling and search, I can't find how to add a required reviewer when people of a given team create a pull request in DevOps.
Some people will be able to contribute to our repository, but they are external to our company, that's why we want to enforce this control.
Does anyone ever did it?
Thanks.
It seems that you want to conditionally set the required reviewers according to which team the pull request creator comes from. If so, I think there is no such built-in function currently provided.
Currently only the filter condition of "based on which files changed" is provided.

You can do this with a branch policy in Azure DevOps Repos. In ADO, go to project settings and click Repositories in the menu in the Repos section of the project settings page. Click the repository you would like to protect with code reviews and then select the Policies tab. Next select the git branch needing reviews.
On the bottom of the branch policies page you can select Automatically included reviewers. Click the + button to add reviewers. When adding the reviewers you can select if these selected reviewers are required or optional. This is actually something of a rule-builder, you can add multiple 'rules' by repeatedly going through click + and add reviewers
There is also some documentation on branch policies that might be helpful
This is my solution, this has been work for year
Azure DevOps: Automatically add different Reviewers based on Pull Request author using Microsoft Power Automate
I am relatively new to Azure DevOps, so hopefully what I am about to ask makes sense...
My company utilizes a custom version of the Agile template for our projects. My particular project contains two different teams.
I am a member of the first team for visibility purposes. I manage the second team and would like to grant them the ability to use the work item templates I created.
Unfortunately, they are not able to see or use my templates and I am not sure why. The Azure DevOps documentation says they must 1) be members of the Azure DevOps team and 2) be members of the Contributor group. I can confirm both of those boxes are checked, but no dice.
My knowledge of Azure DevOps permissions is admittedly very little and my Google searches have yielded no promising results. Has anyone run into this problem before and know what the solution might be? Thanks in advance for your help!

In my project, I created two teams, test and Test_Agile Team and created different templates for the two teams, you could check the pic below.
Then I added a user to Test_Agile Team and Contributor group, then try to create work item with template.
Result:
We can create work items via Test_Agile Team work item template. Please check the pic.
You need open project settings->teams->select one team and ensure these users are in this team.
Open project setting->Team configuration->switch to team->click the tab Templates->select the work item and ensure that there have template.
Update1
Please contact team members and share the following screenshots here.
open project settings->Team configuration->switch to the correct team->click the tab Templates->select the work item type that has the template such as below.
If see the error You do not have permission to edit templates for this team, the user will not see the work item template and use it in the Boards section. you need open project settings->Teams->click the correct team and ensure the user is a member of this team.
Open work item->Template->Capture and then then share the screenshot here.
Open project settings->Permissions->Click the tab Users->select the user and then share the permission screenshot here.
Good morning;
I'd like to know if it's possible to make a query in Azure DevOps for obtaining the team's users accesses stats.
I can obtain the cards modified by the users, but i want to know if there's a way to know if the users are accessing to the boards (using Azure devops queries).
Thanks!!
Do you mean to get users list who are accessing boards?
If so, I am afraid that there is no way to get this information right now.
This feature is not supported by azure devops for the time being.

Thank you for your response.
As you said, I need the list of the users who are accessing boards.
By the moment, I'll obtain the number of cards modified by each user, and this could give me an idea about the users activity.
I've been asked to generate a report listing all the dashboards used by a team, who created them and when. Anyone know how to get this information from Azure DevOps? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Unfortunately we cannot get the history information for now.
We can get the list of dashboards for a specific team by calling the REST API (Dashboards - List), and retrieve the properties (detail information) for a specific dashborad (Dashboards - Get), but both not include the history information (Created By and Created Date in your scenario).
There's already a user voice submitted here to suggest the related feature with adding Activity Log to Azure DevOps (VSTS) to track user access, you can go and vote it up or submit a new user voice to suggest the feature to achieve that in future release...
