Many customers want to use both GitHub and Azure DevOps together. Until now, unless you purchased Visual Studio subscriptions with GitHub Enterprise, you had to pay separately for both products. With the Sprint 252 release, Azure DevOps Basic usage rights are included with GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
Your users access this benefit automatically when they login to Azure DevOps using Microsoft Entra. Their access level will change to “GitHub Enterprise” and just like a Visual Studio subscriber, there are no Azure DevOps charges for these users.
We’ll be adding support for GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency customers soon. For more information, visit our GitHub Enterprise licensing FAQ and if you have any questions or feedback, please drop a comment below.
Hello @andrew brenner.
How this will for normal user accounts ? Can you explain more on that ?
If the user has a Visual Studio professional subscription and GitHub Enterprise, they get the same Basic access with each, so they’re detected as a VS Subscriber:

If by normal users accounts, do you mean customers who don’t sign in with the same Entra login to both GitHub and Azure DevOps? We don’t have any plans to support any non-Entra based users. Has your company considered using Entra for both? I’m assuming you probably use Entra for Azure DevOps, but not for GitHub. Are there any blockers you’re facing with moving to use Entra with GitHub?
Hi Andrew,
I will rephrase it now. I have a user who is part of one organization in azure devops who has visual studio professional license. Same user is part of github enterprise cloud. How can we change this user to github enterprise level access in azure devops ?
