I'am recently installed Azure DevOps Server 2019 in on-premises server.
However, i'am so confused : How i can block access from Domain Admin User Group : all memebers can access and manage all project and collection
I ask for idea to implement that
Thank you
EDIT :
I also try to delete the user admin group via TFS Console , but not work
azure devops server : revoke access from Domain Admin User
You could try to remove the Domain Admin User Group from its parent group, like Project Collection Administrators.
Check which group the domain admins group is a member of
In Team Foundation Server Administration Console tool, navigate to Group Membership page. Find out the Domain Admin User Group is under which groups, and remove:
Or you can move the member in that group:
Hope this helps.
It's work
I remove the AD domain admin group from the local group administrator , with this way ; only the specific user in the local group administrator , can access to all project

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.
I'm trying to set up automated pipeline for database creation and need to open access for all users of some AD group. Last part is done through CREATE USER [Group Name] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER;
In order to execute this command, one needs to be logged in with AAD and the only Azure DevOps task used to execute SQL scripts (SqlAzureDacpacDeployment#1) has limited options to sign with AD. Currently it supports sign in with AD username/password and AD Integrated. User/password option is not possible as we use two factor authentication. And the latter requires self-hosted agent for pipeline which we do not have.
Additionally, there is one more sign in option that look promising (Service Principal: Uses the Authentication data from Azure Subscription), but after trying it failed miserably with error:
##[error]Principal 'web-API' could not be created. Only connections established with Active Directory accounts can create other Active Directory users.
Are the any other options we could use to create AD users in Azure SQL database? Any help would be appreciated.
How to solve above error ?
Please follow below steps:
Step 1: Go to Azure portal and find out your SQL server resource and you will find Active director left side under settings. Please click Set Admin. Now your Active Directory user account becomes Admin to the SQL server.
Step 2: Now use SSMS login with Active directory authentication if Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled. Otherwise, you can choose either 'Active directory - Integrated' or 'Active Directory - Password.'
Step 3: Create new logins which you can see in the below code:
CREATE USER [User1#Domain.com]
FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER
WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo;
add user to roles for the particular database
ALTER ROLE dbmanager ADD MEMBER [User1#Domain.com];
ALTER ROLE loginmanager ADD MEMBER [User1#Domain.com];
Note : If you add a domain user that is configured for MFA, then for that user to log on using SSMS they should select the SSMS authentication option Azure Active Directory - Universal with MFA.
Regarding SqlAzureDacpacDeployment#1 follow this Link.

I'm trying to connect my Azure DevOps Organization to my Azure AD Tenant. I'm the only user in both. I connect to both using my personal microsoft (#outlook.com) account. However, when I'm trying to link my DevOps orga to my Azure AD Tenant, Azure DevOps doesn't see me as a member of the Azure AD Tenant that I'm trying to connect to, even though I'm connected in Azure with the same Microsoft account that I use on Azure DevOps... I'm following the steps mentioned here.
Below pic shows the error message I'm getting while trying to connect my Azure DevOps orga to my Default Azure AD Tenant :
Here, you can see that I'm connected in my Azure AD Tenant with the same Microsoft account that in the previous picture :
Tried to do the same where only one member who is the only admin is present in the azure AD tenant.But could successfully connect to azure devops.
Please make sure you are connecting already existed AAD tenant and then creating connection. check if admin permissions are given .
I had these roles assigned .
I had guest user access same as member access
Could smoothly connect without any warnings to the same domain as that of azure ad.
I tried to reproduce the issue and so tried connect with the other tenant /directory and got the error similar to yours which is not your case as you mentioned you have same directory domain.
So in your case , please close all other tabs and signin to only the required tenant both in azure ad and also in azure devops.
Please check the access permissions for this organization, if the organization is denied access for external access.
See Access via Azure AD FAQs | Microsoft Docs which can guide to troubleshoot your error cause and it says to have co-admin or service admin permissions.
Also please take the points by #jessehouwing in the comments into consideration , if issue is still there :Create a new Global Admin user account in AAD,Add this user to the DevOps organisation and set as owner and give Project Collection Administrators permission,Remove that domain from the DevOps org and Re-add to the org and re-assign as the owner.
Else it might be some issue with the default directory permissions. You may contact and report a problem in https://developercommunity.
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.
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.
