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.
