This sprint we\u2019re releasing a public preview feature to enable organization administrators in Azure DevOps<\/a> to restrict users from seeing and collaborating with users in different projects. This will bring another level of isolation and access control to projects. We can\u2019t wait for you to get in and try the new feature. Your early feedback will help us improve the experience.<\/p>\n

By default, users added to an organization can view all organization metadata and settings. This includes viewing the list of users in the organization, list of projects, billing details, usage data, and more that is accessed through the organization settings. Additionally, users are able to use the various people pickers in the product to search for, view, select, and tag all other members of the organization, even if these users are not in the same project.<\/p>\n

To restrict select users from this information you can enable the Limit user visibility and collaboration to specific projects<\/strong> preview feature for your organization<\/a>. Once that is enabled, users and groups added to the Project-Scoped Users<\/strong> group will have two limitations: Hidden organization settings and limited people-picker search and tagging.<\/p>\n

Hidden Organization Settings<\/h3>\n

Users added to the \u201cProject-Scoped Users<\/strong>\u201d group are restricted from accessing the Organization Settings<\/strong> pages, except for Overview<\/strong> and Projects<\/strong>, and are restricted to only viewing data from projects they have been added to.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Limited people-picker search and tagging<\/h3>\n

Using the various people pickers in the product, users and groups added to the \u201cProject-Scoped Users<\/strong>\u201d group will only be able to search for, view, select, and tag members who are also members of the project they\u2019re currently in.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer<\/h3>\n

Note that the current restrictions are on the user interface only; users will still be able to use the REST APIs<\/a> to produce or construe the restricted data.<\/p>\n

Feedback<\/h3>\n

Please email us<\/a> directly with any questions, comments or issues you may have. We take your input seriously and read every bit of feedback. We\u2019re very excited for you all to try this out and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
