In trying to restrict access to an Azure DevOps repository, it appears I've denied access to EVERYONE, including myself and project administrators. It is now not visible to any of us so nobody can resolve the issue, but if I try to create a new repository with that name it says I can't because it still exists. Please help - I am desperate!
You need to Look up the Organization owner and contact them, since
The organization owner can provide permissions at any level within the organization or project.
To do so,
Choose the Azure DevOps logo to open Projects, and then choose Organization settings.
Choose Overview and scroll down to show the Organization owner.

We have Azure DevOps on-premise server 2020.1 RTW, we wanted to add users/groups with limited access to Wiki pages only. We added the group to the project and added the user to the group and updated all the permissions from Project Security to: Deny except for: View project-level information permission (set to: Allow). Permissions have also been updated from Collection Security settings. The user currently can view Wiki pages but he can also add/delete Pipeline folders. Any idea on how can we revoke the folder deletion permission? Note: I followed the below articles but the issue still not resolved:

How to restrict access to Pipelines in Azure DevOps
Update: Included Image for access control summary for Pipeline level permissions:
This is the access control summary for Pipeline security
As per my knowledge we may set different level of pipeline permissions for the users.
Pipeline permissions are the permissions associated with pipelines in an Azure DevOps project. Permissions in Azure DevOps are hierarchical and can be set at the organization, server (for on-premises), project, and object levels.
Object-level permissions are designed to be more granular than organization-level permissions. For example, a user could have access to your Azure repository thanks to their organization-level permissions. However, that same user could be prevented from running a pipeline manually because of that pipeline's permissions.
Here is the reference for pipeline permissions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/policies/permissions?view=azure-devops#pipeline-permissions-reference

Even though I have Project Admin, Contributor access. In Azure DevOps project, Repos not showing/visible.
Go to Organization Settings->Users->Manage user->Check the user's access level. If their access level is stakeholder, they cannot access the repository.
Change user access level from stakeholder to basic.
We have Azure DevOps 2019 installed in our internal network, but all of Domain users admins(Active Directory) have full access to our collections, How Can I revoke their access?
You can search the Domain Admins. If you find it, click to enter it, you will see the interface like below, then choose the Permissions Tab to set the permission. For example:
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.
I have an account in VSTS, which have both personal and work account. I have a project named abc.visualstudio.com under my work account. I would like to change this project to my personal account.
Changing ownership to a different person is quiet easy in VSTS. Changing a project from one directory to another of the same person is a bit tricky and I am struggling to get this done.
Make sure that "xyz#hotmail.com" is the current owner of the VSTS account and then disconnect the VSTS account from the linked Azure AD, the owner will switch to the Microsoft Account with "xyz#hotmail.com".
One important thing you need to know is that disconnecting VSTS from AAD will cause the other users who use the work account cannot sign in. So you need to make sure that all the other users also switch to microsoft account.
