How to Add users to your Visual studio team services(VSTS) account or team project in Dynamics AX 365 Operations

Add users to your Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) account and specify the level of features they can use, such as Basic or Stakeholder. These kinds of users can join your VSTS account for free:
  • 5 users who get Basic features, such as version control, tools for Agile, Java, build, release management, and more
  • Unlimited users who get Stakeholder features, such as working with your backlog, work items, and queries
  • Unlimited Visual Studio subscribers who also get Basic features, and in some cases, additional features with specific extensions, such as Test Manager
Note
You can add people to team projects, rather than to your account. VSTS automatically assigns them Basic features, if your account has seats available, or Stakeholder features, if not. Learn how to add members to team projects.
When people don't need access to your VSTS account anymore, delete them from your account.

How access differs from permissions

Access levels control which features are available to users, i.e. the full set of account resources that a user is entitled to access. Permissions then control which of these account resources the user can act on. To learn more, see Default permissions and access for VSTS and TFS

Prerequisites

You'll need [VSTS project collection administrator or account owner permissionsQuickstart: Add administrators, set permissions at the project-level or project collection-level.

Add users to your VSTS account

Administrators can now add users to an account, grant access to appropriate tooling extensions and service access level, and add users to groups all in one view. You can add up to 50 users at once. You can add more than 50 users by repeatedly using this Users view. When you add users, each receives a notification email with a link to the account page.
Note
If have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) backed VSTS account, and you need to add users who are external to your Azure AD, first add external users to your Azure AD. Be sure on the Tell us about this user page, under Type of user, to choose User with an existing Microsoft account. After completing those steps, follow the steps below to add the external Azure AD user to VSTS.
Provide others access to your account by adding their email address.
  1. Choose gear icon, the gear Settings icon, and choose the Account Settings option.
    Open Account Settings
  2. Choose Users and then choose Add new users to open the form.
    Open Add new users dialog
  3. Fill out the form.
    Web portal, account admin context, Add new users dialog
    • Users: Enter the Microsoft account (MSA) email address for the user account. You can add several email addresses by separating them with a semicolon (;). Note that in MSAs, the email addresses display in red.
    • Access level: Leave the Access level at Basic for those users who will contribute to the code base. To learn more, see About access levels.
    • Add to projects: Select the project that you named in the previous procedure.
    • VSTS Groups: Leave this entry at Project Contributors, the default security group for people who will contribute to your project. To learn more, see Default permissions and access assignments.
    • Choose Add to complete your invitation.

How to add external users to your Visual studio team services(VSTS) account Dynamics 365 Operations

If you’re an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)-backed VSTS account user who wants to be able to collaborate with external users, you can invite an external user to your VSTS account. To do so, you must add the identities of your external users to your Azure AD and VSTS accounts. Doing this will also grant the user some additional privileges. Learn more about the additional account-level resources.

Prerequisites

  • You must set the policy 'External Guest Access' to 'On' for the account which you would like to invite external users to.
External Guest Access
  • You must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group for the account which you would like to invite external users to.
  • The VSTS account, to which you want to invite external users, must allow for external invitations. Go to the account Settings page to confirm.
  • The Azure AD tenant, to which you want to invite external users, must allow you to add new users based on your AAD tenant’s guest policies. Learn how to become eligible to invite external users on your Azure AD tenant.

Invite external users to your VSTS account

  1. Sign in to your VSTS account (https://{youraccount}.visualstudio.com).
  2. Go to the Users tab in Settings.
  3. Choose Add new users.
  4. Enter the external user's email address followed by a semicolon, and then choose Add. A warning message will appear indicating that an external user is being added from outside of your directory.
Add external user to VSTS
  1. Advise the external user to locate the email they received from VSTS and go to the redemption URL. The external user must navigate through an Azure B2B redemption experience, which will add the user to your tenant.
Note
If you need to resend the invitation email, go to the Users page, select the user, and choose Resend invite.
The external user is added to the VSTS account to which they were invited and has immediate access
