I want to add close to 100 users to Azure DevOps (Visual Studio Team Service). Since adding them individually is quite a cumbersome task, is there any way by which a bulk users can be added at one go?
Thanks for your feedback the idea.
But for now, the feature is not available for Azure DevOps.
And I posted the link Add the feature to bulk add users to an Azure DevOps organization to suggest the feature, you can follow up there.

some of our clients using Jira others the Azure DevOps Boards.
By Jira, on Work Items we have a "Work log" tab, where we can log our times.
I'm searching for the same at Azure DevOps Boards, but can't find more as the Effort (Hours) part on Tasks. But this is much weaker... Do we need a plugin or what is the best practice here?
Azure DevOps does not support daily time-tracking. To enable it, you have to use some external solutions like 7pace Timetracker for Azure DevOps
Can someone recommend Help/Service Desk management system which works good with Azure DevOps?
We already have Azure Devops for code management with ci cd and test suites.
I am also considering JIRA service desk management, however thinking a bit scpetical in the lines of having two similar eco systems.
In next few months, we forsee potential clients who makes use of our IT services and would like to support them using service desk management.
Thank you.
By reference to this doc: What features and services do I get with Azure DevOps?, Azure DevOps provide Boards service including Agile process, Basic Process, Scrum process and CMMI process, which is easily sharing information and track the status of work, tasks, issues, or code defects. See: Azure DevOps Labs for details.
In addition, if you use Slack, you can use the Azure Boards app for Slack to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Slack channel. If you use Microsoft Teams, you can use the Azure Boards app for Microsoft Teams to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Teams channel. And Jira, Zappier, Service Now and so on.
BTW, if you use other management system like TeamSupport Help Desk, you could use Microsoft Power Platform to create automated workflows.
After investigation, we found that currently Azure DevOps has no service desk feature, I found a suggestion ticket in Developer community. You can vote and follow this ticket. You can also create a new suggestion ticket here. The product group will review these tickets regularly, and consider take it as roadmap.
BTW, I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/azuredevops/comments/cbkxwz/azure_devops_as_a_help_desk_ticket_system/, which provides several choices, you could check it.
Is it possible to run Azure DevOps Web extension when you open any azure devops page?
Probably, there is exists something like "type": "ms.vss-web.azure-load-action" that starts when you open Azure DevOps Website.
In common way, extension contribution runs in a certain scenarios, like - opening hub, opening context menu, etc. Can you run an extension contribution in global context - after azure devops website was opened?
PS. I'he already searched in the VSTS samples, extension points and azure devops extension samples
Thank you, have a nice day!
Unfortunately, extensions don't support "load action". We use extensions to enhance Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS) with new web experiences, dashboard widgets, build tasks, and more. You may submit a user voice at website below:

My team uses the Team Retrospective extension & it's being un-published from the marketplace later this month. I'd love to know if Azure Devops will continue to support this extension and/or if it will be replaced as a new feature within the Azure Devops platform.

AFAIK, Azure Devops will continue to support this extension. I got following message:
Retrospectives will be un-published from the Marketplace on May 29,
2020 Beginning on May 29th, 2020 the Team Retrospectives extension
will no longer be available on the Azure DevOps Marketplace. Existing
installations will continue to work with the exception of the
real-time update feature, until your organization admin explicitly
removes the extension from the ADO tenant. Thank you to everyone who
provided feedback for helping to improve the extension ecosystem.
So, if you have already installed this extension on your organization, it will continue to be supported.
Hope this helps.
I have the need to be able to create completely new Azure DevOps organizations from scratch. I have tried with azure devops cli but there just seems to be no way to do it.
I already checked MS documentation but it only mentions the manual way through a browser to do so.
Is this even possible?
Is this even possible?
As far as I know it is not possible to create organizations in Azure DevOps programmatically. You can create Projects, Work Items or Teams through Rest API but not Organizations.
In addition, please also refer to Use Azure DevOps REST API to Delete organizations / accounts? Where you can see there isn't a way to automate delete an organization currently too.
