defining user roles??

Hi everyone. I need to give someone access to view our code base, but I have no idea what role this would be, there are so many to choose from and it's so confusing. essentially, this person just needs to be able to see the code now, not edit it etc.

 

what should their role be?

    Take a look at the following documents:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/security/permissions?view=azure-devops&tabs=preview-page
    and
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/security/permissions?view=azure-devops&tabs=preview-page#project-level-groups - Take a look at the different groups that come out of the box for every project in DevOps. The permission you need to provide that user is READER permission. So there is already a Readers group. You need to make sure that the user is added only to the Readers group and not to any other groups.
