Instructions

1. Start by navigating to your on-premises Azure DevOps Server URL.
   NOTE: The screenshots shown below are from the cloud version, so your interface may look slightly different depending on which on-premises Azure DevOps Server version you’re using — however, the overall concepts and steps are very similar between the cloud and on-premises editions.
2. Now open any project and capture Collection Name from the URL. For example if your URL is

   https://tfs.mycompany.local/tfs/MyCollection/MyProject/

   then your collection name is MyCollection usually after /tfs/. Copy this collection name and later we will enter on Connection UI.
3. Next, click User settings icon and then click Personal access tokens:
4. Then click New Token button to create a new personal access token:
5. Continue by...
   • naming your token
   • selecting the right Organization
   • setting token's Expiration date (it's recommended to use Custom defined option and make it expire after one year or later)
   • and setting the Scopes:
   

   NOTE: You may be restricted from creating full-scoped PATs. If so, your Azure DevOps administrator in Azure AD has enabled a policy which limits you to a specific custom defined set of scopes.

6. Now click Copy button and save the newly created token into a file for quick access later:
7. Go back to the connector screen, input the token you saved in a previous step into the Personal Access Token (PAT) field.
8. Then enter the Organization host name part that you noted recorded in previous step into Organization name or Id for url field.
9. Enter the name or Id of the project you want to connect to by default in the Default Project (Choose after above fields) field.
10. Select the Security tab.
11. Enter https://auditservice.dev.azure.com,https://almsearch.dev.azure.com,https://analytics.dev.azure.com into the Additional Trusted Domains field.
12. Select the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with your Azure DevOps account.
13. Done!
