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.

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.
I have a problem and apparently it happens because before I had my business account registered as a personal account in microsoft. I have already deleted that account to keep the business account only but now when I want to add the account to my organization in DevOps it does not allow me to add it, it tells me that there is an error and already, it does not add it to the organization.
I realized that DevOps tries to add the personal Microsoft account again and not the new one I have (Microsoft 365), I don't know how I can solve that, if they could help me.
The question is also in Developer Community in Microsoft: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1096647/no-puedo-unirme-a-una-organizacion-en-devops.html
Solved the issue with these steps below:
Sign out the account and close the browser.
Please ask your Project Collection Admins (PCA) to delete and re-add the account in the organization.
Don't click the email link or use the normal browser window to access the organization.
Firstly, please open an InPrivate/incognito browser window. Then, you could access to "https://dev.azure.com/TCI-Software" directly in the InPrivate/incognito browser window.
I am trying to add an attachment to a work item in Azure Devops. I am an administrator for the project and Area path. When I attempt to add an attachment I get the error "You do not have permission to attach files to work items in the current area path." I have searched and searched but can't figure out which permission I am missing. Does anyone know which permission I should give myself?
I figured it out this morning. One of my coworkers had a theory to try. It appears it is not being allowed when connected to our VPN. When I attempt it with out being connected to the VPN it works as expected. Hope this says someone hours of research.
I can't reproduce same issue like yours, but I think it's may not a simple permission-related issue.
Check the project configuration page and make sure all related permissions for specific user are allowed.
Search the user name and try allowing all permissions here and do the test again:
Then use a edge/chrome browser(after cleaning the cache), sign-out and sign-in the web portal again to check if the issue disappears.
I have just started trying to use Azure DevOps. Whenever I invite a new Team Member to join my project they do not get an email asking them to join. When they log into DevOps, they cannot see my project. I have a suspicion this is somehow related to Active Directory but I have no clue.
I have tried inviting work emails and gmails. I have check that the permissions allow notifications and project collaboration. The project shows the invited emails as part of the project.
Is it supposed to be this difficult to synch up your team?
Thanks!
You can go to Project settings, click Permissions under General, click Users tab and select the new team member you added to your project. Make the View project-level information permission is set to allow for the new member.
I cannot reproduce the email not sending out issue. You can click the 3dots at the most right of the User of the Users section in Organziation setting, and try resending invite a couple of more times.
You can check the Microsoft documents to Add users to your organization or project and Add users to a project or team
I just wanted to update this to say that 'Resend invite' under Organization Settings > Users successfully sent the email to my users. Thank you for the great suggestion. No clue why they didn't send in the first place.
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.
