How can I stop Project Admin to delete a Security group and/or Teams group. Also, how can I stop Project Admin from removing members from a particular custom Security group and/or Teams Group?
How to limit permissions of Project Admin in Azure DevOps(ADO)?
I am afraid there is no such way to do this at this moment.
According to the document Project-level groups:
Project Administrators: Has permissions to administer all aspects of teams and project, although they can't create team projects.
That means that the PA has the highest project-level authority and cannot limit its authority.
As workaround, we could create a new group and set it as member of the Project Administrators group, then we could set the permissions for that group.

If you mean you can not access some resources in Azure DevOps, you need to check the access level and permission of your account and the group you belong to.
First, check the access level of your account or group. If you have Stakeholder access level, change to Basic level:
The Basic access level and higher supports full access to all
Azure Boards features. Stakeholder access level provides partial
support to select features, allowing users to view and modify work
items, but not use all features. Stakeholder access is available
to support free access to a limited set of features by an unlimited
set of stakeholders.

If the access level is already Basic level, check the permission of your account or group. You need to check the following link to grant your account or group appropriate permission for the resources:

I want to add a guest account to my Azure Active Directoy and give it access to an Azure DevOps project. Inside the project the guest should only be allowed to create, edit and delete work items. Basically all the features on boards except administrative work. All other features of DevOps should be restricted.
The problem is, that I can't find a way to create a new group which fits my requirements. As soon as a user should be able to create work items he must be member of the default "Contributor" group. But then he can also create environments for example because there is no way to deny permissions regarding environments inside self defined groups.
Does anybody have an idea how to restrict permissions for a user or a group to only the mentioned board related features?
Thanks in advance
Does anybody have an idea how to restrict permissions for a user or a group to only the mentioned board related features?
Indeed, there is no such group which fits your requirements directly.
As workaround, we could create a new group as member of the Contributors group:
we add this new created group as Reader in the Security of Environments:
Then add this new created group to other modules that need to be restricted with same principle.
Currently, my Azure DevOps account do not have project collection administrator permission. I can see the "Add user" button if I added the project collection administrator. Is there a granular role to add a user to an organization without assigning project collection administrator.
Add users to organization without assigning project collection
administrator
For this issue , unfortunately it is impossible to achieve in azure devops.
This is clearly stated in the official documentation:
Prerequisites
You must have Project Collection Administrator or
organization Owner permissions in Azure DevOps. For more information,
see Set permissions at the project level or project collection level.
For details,please refer to this.
If you can see "add user" active button in Project Collection Admin group on the top right hand side, you must be a member of a teams group which is directly or indirectly is a part of a Project collection administrator group. Usually that is done when you are a part of teams group and that teams groups is the part of PCA(Project Collection Admin.
Alternatively, since you wont be able to edit the permissions of PCA, you can create a teams group and add that teams group to PCA and play around with the permissions and you will be add the users to the ORG as well.
In TFS 2018 on-premises server, is it possible to set permissions for a single dashboard, separately from the other dashboards in that project?
I have multiple dashboards in my main project and I would like to give only a few specific users access to edit one of those dashboards, but all users should have the ability to view it.
Is that possible?
As per this,
As a member of the Project Administrators group, you can set the
default dashboard permissions for all teams. As a team or project
administrator, you can set individual dashboard permissions for team
members. The permissions only affect the team members to which the
dashboards belongs.
By default, all team members have permissions to edit dashboards
defined for the team. All other valid users of the project have view
only permissions, except for members of the Project Administrators
group. You can change the default permissions a project from the
Project settings.

SharePoint does integrate active directory accounts, of course, but how about security groups? Have a few sites where I'm fairly confident access is going through an existing Active Directory (AD) security groups (i.e. only an AD security group has been granted permissions through the 'People and Groups') In another situation, where I created the AD group and granted it permissions to a site, the customers were not able to access immediately. Eventually had to fast-track it and add the individuals to the People and Groups to keep the project going, but hoping not to have to maintain it that way.
Any specific requirements of the security group in AD? Universal, Global, or domain local? Is there any time delay between modifying group members in AD and having that take effect in SharePoint?
Any AD group type is usable by SharePoint so long as that group is usable by the server SharePoint is running on. Said another way, if you were using the OS level tools on the server and the OS recognizes your group, then you can use it in SharePoint.
As for when group memberships changes become effective, it has always been near real time for me but I can't say that I can speak to all possible AD topology deployments.
