repository restriction in visual studio team service

Question

We are trying to implement the DevOps process in VSTS. But, we want to give repository access to only certain members of the team. Project level restriction can be implemented in VSTS, but we manage all our repos in one project for easier management. Is it possible to give repo restriction like GitHub where only allowed members can have access to the repo.

Answer 1

Follow these steps to set restrictions:

1.Adding users to your VSTS (https://XXX.visualstudio.com/_user) (turn off the feature of Streamlined User Management)

2.On to your Git team project admin page and choose version control (https://XXX.visualstudio.com/[teamproject]/_admin/_versioncontrol)

3.Select a repository

4.On the Security page, Add -> Add user to add members

5. and then Grant these users Contribute and Read permission

View instance-level information (For connection in Visual Studio) and View project-level information are needed too.
