September patches for Azure DevOps Server
This month, we are releasing fixes that impact our self-hosted product, Azure DevOps Server 2019.
The following has been fixed with this patch:

In this version, we’re providing a fix to adding an active directory group, which did not show the permissions correctly unless you remove and add it back again.

Are there any more details or documentation links to a developer community thread regarding what is being fixed? I’m interested in knowing the “unexpected behavior” as I have seen issues around AD groups in security groups. As-is, this release note is pretty poor.
Hi Matt, I appreciate your feedback. I’ve updated the release notes to address the point above. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks Sidi. That looks like an issues we’ve faced for a while that we had a work around for. Will be nice to give this a test once we take this patch.
