Fixing the “Azure DevOps User Cannot See Repos”

If a user can’t see repositories in Azure DevOps, it may due to different issues. Here’s how we can find and fix the problem:

Reasons and Solutions

1. Users with “Stakeholder” access can’t view repositories.

Fix: An admin (Project Collection Administrator or Organization Owner) should change the user’s access level to “Basic” or higher. This will allow them to see and interact with repositories.

2. The Repos service might be disabled for the project.

Fix: A project admin needs to check the project settings and ensure the Repos service is enabled.

3. The user might not have the necessary permissions to access the repositories.

Fix: Ensure the user has at least read permissions on the repositories. This can be done at the project or repository level in the settings.

4. The user is not a member of the project containing the repositories.

Fix: Add the user to the project team. Project administrators or owners can manage project membership.

5. Repos set to private or have limited visibility.

Fix: Check the repository settings to ensure they are visible to the user. If the repository is private, make sure the user is included in the allowed users or groups list.

6. Organization-level policies may restrict access to repos.

Fix: Check for any organization-level settings that could be affecting the user’s visibility and adjust as necessary.

7. The user might have many repositories and is not using filters correctly.

Fix: Use the search functionality or adjust filters within Azure DevOps to locate the repositories.

8. Browser cache or settings might be causing visibility issues.

Fix: Clear the browser cache or try using a different browser.
