TF401256: You do not have Write permissions for query Shared Queries

Hej!

I have checked the security settings, but cannot understand why error is coming. I am Project administrator and Project collection administrator with full access. The owner of the project cannot create a Shared query either. I cannot find any setting on Organization level that should prevent us. Any ideas?

 

BR,

Magnus

    Considering this:

     

    • Check Folder Permissions:
      • Navigate to the "Shared Queries" folder in Azure DevOps.
      • Click on the three dots (ellipsis) next to the folder and select "Security."
      • Ensure that your account or group has the "Contribute" permission set to "Allow" for the folder.
    • Inheritance Conflicts:
      • If permissions are inherited from another group (e.g., Contributors), and that group has "Deny" set for certain permissions, it will override your "Allow" permissions.
      • To resolve this, locate the group causing the conflict and change the permission from "Deny" to "Not Set."
    • Verify Organization-Level Settings:
      • While there isn't a specific organization-level setting for shared queries, ensure that your account has the necessary access level (e.g., Basic or higher).
    • Test with a New Query Folder:
      • Create a new folder under "Shared Queries" and set custom permissions for it. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the folder or the overall permissions.
