How do I grant permissions in Azure DevOps to create pulls?

Two things to ask yourself:
Does the user have a license?
In Azure DevOps, go to Organization Settings -> Users.
Locate the user and select "Change access level".
Change the access level from Stakeholder to ie. Basic.
Does the user have permission to "Contribute to pull request"
This permission is granted by the Contributer group by default.
In Azure DevOps go to your Project -> Project Settings -> Permissions -> Contributers
Add the user to the Contributers group.

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.
In Azure DevOps, I'm trying to add a user as required reviewer on a PR, but I get this message:
The reviewer 'reviewer_name' does not have permission to view this pull request
I can see that they are a contributor, and have the same repo permissions as I do
What can I check to ensure they have the correct permissions set up?
I can see that they are a contributor, and have the same repo permissions as I do
According to your description, these users should only have stakeholder access.
Actually, to contribute a pull request you need be qualified with two things: Permission , Access Level.
User with Stakeholder access level, he will not be able to use Azure Repos for your private project.
Of cause he is also not able to view any pull request in Azure Repos.
You could check this info from Organization Setting-- Users--Access Level
For more detail concept you could refer our official link: Get started as a Stakeholder
Please change the user access level to Basic and above, then this user should be able to see and access these repos and view pull request.
Note: To change access level, you must have Project Collection Administrator or organization Owner permissions in Azure DevOps.
The Permissions required to perform Pull Request must be Contribute/Contribute to Pull requests, asfound at: Set Repository Permissions
This can be set > Project Settings > Repository > Target Group > Access Control Summary screen.
Check the permissions at the repo level, since it has to set in the Repo.
In my case it was because that particular user was set as a Stakeholder at the Organisation Level
Even though they were a project administrator, I had to upgrde their organisation permissions to Basic access
I'am recently installed Azure DevOps Server 2019 in on-premises server.
However, i'am so confused : How i can set the security and the user permission in the server, such as : Deny user to view author project in the same collection , create custom group not in the azure devops default groups ...
I ask for idea to implement that
Thank you
According to Azure DevOps permission setting, most groups and almost all permissions, Deny trumps Allow. If a user belongs to two groups, and one of them has a specific permission set to Deny, that user will not be able to perform tasks that require that permission even if they belong to a group that has that permission set to Allow.
Deny user to view author project in the same collection.
Assume you were talking about team project. In your scenario, the simplest way is not add that user to your team project. People without team project collection admin permission will not be able to see those projects which they are not added in.
If you already add users in the team project and want the user not be able to see some info such as repo/build/work items in the project .
You need to evidently deny those users for viewing some project repositories/builds/ work items.
As how to create group, you could directly click New Group in the right top corner of the page from Project Settings-- Permission
More details about how are permissions and groups defined, suggest you go through our official doc here-- About permissions and groups
Besides, you could also manage user permission with the help of command line. The tfssecurity command line tool allows us to manage permissions for Azure DevOps groups and users. We could use it in a PowerShell script to grant access to projects that already exists.
Does anyone know where I can set the permission to manage deployment groups in Azure DevOps.
If i click on "deployment groups" in the menu shown here:
I am receiving this message when i click on a deployment group.
The error message states:
You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release
manager to grant permission
I am a member of both project administrators and build administrators groups.
I can reproduce your problem and solve it with the following permission settings.
Click Manage in the Deployment pool
If you get this error you do not have permission to manage this deployment pool's roles to prevent you from modifying permissions in Security. You need to be added to Project Collection Administrators group in organization setting permissions. If you can't be added to the PCA group, you can let the users in the PCA group help you modify it.
Set the user's Role to Administrator in Security, click Save Changes.
After this setting, you will not receive the error message:You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release manager to grant permission when you enter the Deployment groups.
This access is not required as I was able to fix this without changing org level access to others and indeed such access is not made to share with all.
I have a scenario that requires a task running in VSTS add a "Reply URL" to an App registered in AAD.
I've added a service connection in VSTS, it created a SPN and made it a contributor of the Azure subscription, additionally I've added the SPN as an owner of the AppID by calling Add-AzureADApplicationOwner
Still the VSTS task can't operate on the AppID, it can't even read it, e.g. running Get-AzureRmADApplication I get:
[error]Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.
Refer to these steps below to grant permission:
Log on to the Azure portal
Select Azure Active Directory
Select App registrations
Select the corresponding application
Click Settings
Click Required permissions
Click + Add > Select an API
Select Windows Azure Active Directory >Select
Check necessary permissions in Select permissions > select.
Click Done
Click Grant Permissions button
An addition to starian chen-MSFT's answer. I managed to solve the same problem by adding and granting the following permissions on the answer's Step 9:
Read and write directory data
Manage apps that this app creates or owns
