Remove direct assignments from users in Azure DevOps

[!INCLUDE version-vsts-only]

To manage a user's resources only by the groups that they're in, you must remove the direct assignments. Resources that are directly assigned to a user via individual assignment stay assigned to the user, whether the resources are assigned or taken away from the user's groups.

Prerequisites

• You must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group for the organization that you would like to manage users' direct assignments.

Remove assignments

1. Sign in to your organization (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}).

2. Select Organization settings.

   

3. Select the Users tab.

   

4. Select all users with resources that should be managed only by groups.

   

5. To confirm that you want to remove the direct assignments, select Remove.

Direct assignments are removed from the users.

Note

If a user isn't a member of any groups, then the user isn't affected.
