Simplifying User Management Across Multiple Organizations in Azure DevOps Portal
In our Azure DevOps portal, we currently manage 32 organizations, each requiring Basic access for users at approximately $6 per user. However, navigating and searching for specific users across these...
Take this:
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) Integration
- Use Entra ID groups to manage user access centrally.
- Assign users to Azure DevOps organizations via group membership.
- Remove a user from a group to revoke access across all linked organizations.
- Azure DevOps REST API Automation
You can build a custom dashboard or script using the Azure DevOps REST API to:
- Query user lists across all organizations.
- Search for a specific user.
- Remove the user from all organizations programmatically.
- Azure DevOps CLI
The Azure DevOps CLI allows scripting user management tasks:
az devops user remove --user <user-email> --org https://dev.azure.com/<org-name>
- Custom Portal or Dashboard
Develop a web-based internal tool that:
- Authenticates with Azure DevOps using a PAT (Personal Access Token).
- Lists all users across organizations.
- Allows search and bulk removal.
- Uses REST API under the hood.
