In Azure DevOps, is it possible to have users accessing all services except for the repo? By that I mean they should not be able to see any sourcecode.
Thanks
You can set deny permissions for all Git repositories for a project, or for a single repository.
Open the web portal and choose the project where you want to add users or groups.
To set the set the permissions for all Git repositories for a project, choose Git Repositories and then choose the security group whose permissions you want to manage.
Set all the permissions to "Deny" and then save the changes.

I want to add a group/user to an Azure DevOps project with just access to repositories and pipelines.
If I deny "View project-level information" they don't have access to the project at all.
If I allow the "View project-level information" it gives them a read-only access to the Project Settings including permissions to see users and members of other groups etc.
It seems unbelievable that such a basic security and privacy hole exists.
Am I missing something in the config because I have never seen this in any other application and I find it hard to believe that everyone else using Azure DevOps finds this acceptable.
The easiest equivalent is GitHub (that Microsoft now owns) and you can't see the project settings if you are just a contributor.
How do I give external contractors access to the project to work but prevent them from viewing the Project Settings?
There is no possibility to restrict access to the Team Project - Project Settings page. The only thing that comes close is the feature that is now in preview: Limit user visibility and collaboration to specific projects, which will enable you to restrict access to the Organization Settings. You could suggest this feature in the Microsoft Developer Community.
I have added multiple team members to two different teams in Azure Devops project. But team members are not able to see organization, project and dashboards when they login to devops account?
team members are not able to see organization, project and dashboards
Users cannot see the organization, you can first check whether these users have been added to the organization in Users of Organization Settings.
Then you can check whether the user has the permission to access the project on the Manage user page.
Regarding that users cannot see the projects, you can check whether the “View project-level information” permission of the team is set to Deny in the Permissions of Projects Settings.
Regarding that the user cannot see the dashboard, there should be no permission to restrict it. All users in the project should be able to see the dashboard. Can you share the screenshots about this issue?
In addition, you can try to let users log in with incognito window to see if the problem exists. Check if your organization is connected to AAD.
This is the answer for my additional questinos.
To get an access to Devops project user must be added in the organization either as stakeholder or owner
Once they are owner or stakeholder they are able to access all the features.
We need to grant "Read" access to all git repos in our AzureDevOps organization. I don't think there is a common root to all team projets GIT repos (like it's the case for TFVC). Each team projet seems to be "it's own git server".
Currently, only a few collection-leve groups are automatically added to new projects. "Project Collection Build Service Account" would grant just enough access to repos but would grant permissions in other modules.
Is there a way to edit the process template as we did in TFS? I could then create a collection-level group and ensure access to GIT Repos root level.
Unless I'm just missing out on some obvious alternative solution.
For general DevOps organization, you can't edit the process template as you did in TFS.
I suggest that you could create a new group in collection level, then add it to team projects manually.
Which of the Repos permissions grant the ability to set cross-repo branch policies? If I look at Organization Settings > Security Permissions..Do I need Administer shelved changes or Administer workspaces?
I'm already a member of Project Collection Build Administrators, but I am not given the ability to add cross-repo branch policies. I want to know exactly which permission is necessary.
You should to be an admin of this project to add cross-repo branch policies. You need to be added to Project Administrators group. You can check the document here.
You can have some user who is in the Project Administrators group follow below steps to add you to this group.
Project settings --> Permissions under General---> Project Administrators --> Members-- Add
I need some of my users to see/update only the boards others to see Repos, others to see the Pipelines only. Is there a way to set such permissions?
I couldn't find any default permission that does this
The lowest access level we can give is stakeholder and set users as Project Reader, this makes Repos invisible at most.Users can still see Boards and Pipelines,but without permission to update.
If you don't want some users to see Repos, then you can set the access level of these users to Stakeholder, and then check the project in Manage projects that you want the user to enter, so that these users can only see Boards and Pipelines without Repos in the project. Note:Make sure that the project you want these users to enter is a private project.
You can also set up the following settings to make the content in Repos inaccessible.
Setting: Project Settings -> Repos Repositories ->select the users or groups which you want to set permission -> change the Read permission to Deny
In addition you can make the build pipeline and release pipeline in the Pipelines service invisible to the specified users.
Settings: Pipelines Builds -> Click "⋮" choose Security -> select the users or groups you want to set permissions -> Change the View build pipeline permission to Deny
The same setting in Releases can make the release pipeline invisible.
Hope this helps.
