Pieter van Ginkel edited this page Nov 25, 2023 · 4 revisions

The Azure DevOps plugin provides access to the following Azure DevOps resources:

  • Backlogs and work items in a backlog.
  • Boards and work items in a board.
  • Dashboards.
  • Pipelines.
  • Queries.
  • Repositories and files in a repository.
  • Work items.

Besides this, you can also create new items from the tool using the Azure New option. This can create:

  • Work items.
  • Queries.

Configuration

Use the configuration screen to setup Azure DevOps environments.

You can setup connections to multiple environments if you have access to more than one, e.g. your company and your personal Azure DevOps environment.

Click Add to add a new connection.

To setup access to an Azure DevOps environment, you have to give it a name, a URL and a PAT token. The name is used to disambiguate multiple environments. It'll be appended to the search category, e.g. "Azure Board (pvginkel)". This is only done if you have access to more than one environment.

You need to get a PAT token from Azure DevOps. Have a look at the Create a PAT documentation on the Microsoft website if you need help how to do that. Easiest is to configure the PAT token with Full access. If you click on the date field, you can extend the expiration period to a year.

TQL only requires read access to Azure DevOps resources. If you prefer, you can configure the PAT token to only have read access.
