Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
A company uses a single Azure DevOps organization that already contains several projects. External consultants must be able to read code in any existing or future repository, but they must not access Boards, Pipelines, Test Plans, or change repository settings. You need to configure Azure DevOps so that administrators add each consultant only once and no additional maintenance is required when new projects are created. What should you do?
Create a custom Contributors group inside each project and grant it read-only permissions on the repositories.
Add each consultant as a Stakeholder in every current and future project.
Add the consultants to the Project Collection Build Service group at the organization level.
Create a custom security group at the organization level, grant it only the Code → Read permission, and add the consultants to that group.
Creating a custom security group at the organization level lets you manage membership in a single place. When you grant that group the Code → Read permission at the organization level, Azure DevOps automatically creates a corresponding group inside every current and future project, inheriting the read-only permission for all repositories. Because the group has no permissions for Boards, Pipelines, or other resources, consultants can only view code. Adding consultants as Stakeholders would prevent any code access, while creating or modifying project-level groups would require changes each time a new project is added.
