Permissions and security groups in Azure DevOps — quick notes

Azure DevOps permissions — quick notes

ConceptDetail
Assign at scalePrefer built-in or custom groups; targeted direct-user grants remain supported
Built-in groupsReaders · Contributors · Build Administrators · Project Administrators · Project Collection Administrators
StatesAllow · Deny · Not set
PrecedenceFor most groups/permissions, Deny overrides Allow; documented exceptions exist
Not setNo explicit grant; another group or supported object inheritance may determine access, otherwise implicit denial
ScopesOrganization/collection · project · object; parent inheritance is namespace-specific
Pipeline protected resourcesUser permissions · pipeline permissions · checks
Other permissioned objectsQueries and query folders have object permissions but are not pipeline protected resources

Trap: do not turn the usual Deny rule or object inheritance into an exceptionless global hierarchy.
