    Take this by using Azure DevOps REST API

    To add users to an organization or project, use the User Entitlements API:

     

    {
  "accessLevel": {
    "accountLicenseType": "express",
    "licensingSource": "account"
  },
  "user": {
    "principalName": "newuser@example.com",
    "subjectKind": "user"
  },
  "projectEntitlements": [
    {
      "group": {
        "groupType": "projectContributor"
      },
      "projectRef": {
        "id": "your-project-id"
      }
    }
  ]
}

    You’ll need:

    • Organization name
    • Project ID
    • User email
    • Proper PAT (Personal Access Token) with admin permissions
