Take this:
- Enable Third-Party App Access in Azure DevOps
Make sure your organization has this enabled:
- Go to Azure DevOps > Organization Settings > Policies

If possible, create internal Azure AD accounts for external collaborators. This avoids the guest-user token limitations and ensures full compatibility with Postman.

Postman can connect to Azure DevOps using a PAT:
- Generate a PAT from Azure DevOps > User Settings > Personal Access Tokens
- Use it in Postman as a Basic Auth header:
Authorization: Basic <Base64EncodedPAT>This bypasses the OAuth flow and works for most users, including guests—though some restrictions may still apply depending on your Azure AD setup.
