I am currently trying to set up a build through Visual Studio App Center to connect to a VSTS repository.
I have a VSTS account through my works Active Directory and I am also a member of other organizations VSTS instances using the same email. When I connect to configure a build through VSTS, I am only given options to projects that I have access to in only my organization.
I have revoked my initial connection per this, but it is still showing only the projects within my organization when re-authorizing.
Is there a way to connect to projects that are a part of the other organizations I am affiliated with?
Revoke the connection first and then following the steps below:
Switch to VSTS Web Portal.
Click on Personal Settings and click "My profile".
Switch to the Directory which contains the VSTS account you want to connect.
Go back to VSAC and connect to the VSTS. You should see the switched Directory on the OAuth page:

I had installed Azure Devops on our Windows 2019 server. The server has 5 users and all of them were created as local users on the server. I added these 5 users in Dev Ops project. Four of these users started using visual studio directly on the same server and have cloned project from on premises Azure dev ops. When they connected to the Azure dev ops server, they simply used User1, User2.... username and their windows password to connect to the Azure.
After a couple of weeks, we implemented Active Directory and added this server into the active directory group. The existing four users are still able to pull, push the same project. However, when the fifth user which never logged in now needs to connect to the Azure Dev Ops to clone the project. When he tries to connect via Visual Studio, the visual studio adds Domain into the user name e.g. DomainName\User5 and azure dev ops connectivity is not accepting his windows password. This user is not a domain user and is local to the server. This user can login to Azure Dev Ops when accessing it from browser, but unable to connect when trying it from Visual Studio.
Also, when I logged in directly to Azure Dev Ops (on premises) and try to add members to project, it does not show domain users. It only shows local server users.
Do I need to reinstall Azure dev ops, what should be the apprpriate way to fix this issue?
Thanks
When the fifth tried to use Visual Studio to connect the project, and access the project on web browser, did he do these things also directly on the same server machine?
Due the fifth user can access the project on web browser, the account of this user should not have issue. The problem seems occurs on Visual Studio when trying the authentication for the account.
Please try to check with the following things to see if the problem can be solved:
Check if the user has login to Visual Studio with his account.
Check if Visual Studio has saved or cached the account information of other users. If yes, clean the cache. Then login to Visual Studio with the fifth user's account.
When trying to connect to the project on Visual Studio, make sure the the selected user id the fifth user.
If the issue still exists, please share us with the details error message that the fifth user gets.
My Account(AAD) is Linked with 2 DevOps Organisation(personal organization & Business orgnaization)
I am unable to view Business orgnaization on DevOps Profile but able view personal organization.
I am able to access both via Url https://dev.azure.com/xxxCloud/.
I can't able to Connect DevOps Business Organisation with Visual Studio also.
Please try the following steps:
Please enter aka.ms/vssignout in browser and login to aka.ms/vsprofile again to see if the issue still exists.
If your organizations are in different AADs, please select the right directory in the dropdown list.
Please use other PCs to sign in and check if it works.
If you sign in this organization, can you see the projects in it? Please click specific projects in Web UI, or add project name in organization URL to get access to it.
Please ask your AAD admin to remove your MSA account from Azure Active directory and re-add you again to check if the issue still exists.
We are planning to use the Visual Studio Team Service for our DevOps process. But the problem is we can not give restriction in repository level. In Visual Studio Team Service , restriction can be implemented in project level, We want to create all repository in one project so that we can easily manage our scrum board. Now how can we give repository level restriction like GitHub or Bitbucket where only assigned team member can only see the repository ?
You can refer to these steps to set permission:
1.Add users to your VSTS (https://XXX.visualstudio.com/_user) (I turn off the feature of Streamlined User Management)
2.Go to your Git team project admin page and select version control (https://XXX.visualstudio.com/[teamproject]/_admin/_versioncontrol)
3.Select a repository
4.In Security page, click Add > Add user to add members
5.Grant these users Contribute and Read permission
Note: View instance-level information (For connection in Visual Studio) and View project-level information are needed too.
More information about permission, you can refer to this article: Permissions and groups defined for Team Services and TFS
You can set permissions at the repository level. Look at the "Version Control" section of the administration area.
I have just started working with a company that uses VS Team Services. They set me up with a user account and then pulled the code base to my local PC. Whenever I go to check-out/check-in a file, the username that appears is that of the administrator, not me. I'm not at all familiar with team services because I used git previously. I tried removing the existing workspace and then re-created it, making sure VS showed my username on the team connection settings, but this didn't change anything. I'm using VS 2010 currently.
Here are some screenshots
Checkout not me
And
TFS Connection showing me
First, make sure your personal account has been added to the team project you are working on. Check Add users to a team project.
Then, go to Team Explorer as the screenshot below, click Manage Connections or Select Team Projects (depends on the VS version), select the VSTS you are using, and click Switch User to use your own account:
I have a couple project in Visual Studio Online (VSO), which I would like to move to my GitHub account. In VSO all projects are not publicly-readable. You must be authenticated using Microsoft Account (MA).
I tried to use the GitHub Importer (https://import.github.com/new) to do that. The importer asked me for read-only credentials to reach out to my project. Unfortunately, it cannot go through authentication event though I provide my MA credentials.
Is there anybody know how to import a project from Visual Studio Online to GitHub? Is it even possible?
Okay. I figured it out. You must enable the alternate authentication credentials as described in the following article. After that the importer starts doing its job:

If you're importing from Azure DevOps, don't use your account credentials while importing. Instead goto Azure Repos, select your repo which you are importing, then click on Clone and then click on Generate Credentials and then use those credentials in GitHub importer.
