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.

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

We have recently moved our code on azure devops. We have created user accounts in azure AD and same users we added to Azure Devops so that they can access code.
Now we want restricted access to repo.
I checked this url:
Azure DevOps restrict access only with in the organization
Do I need P1 or P2 Azure AD to enable restricted access to Azure DevOps?
If yes how do I check my Azure AD is P1 or P2 or what?
If you want to restrict user access to all repos, you can set the user's Access level to Stakeholder. Stakeholder has no permission to access repository .The detailed information about access level, please refer to this document.
If you want to restrict user access to a specific repo , you need to set the Read permission of the user or user group to Deny in the Repositories of Project Settings.
You need azure ad P1 to use conditional access. you can check this by logging into azure ad, and it shows you on the Overview blade,
I want to poll an Azure Repo for changes with Git. A personal access token from my account would give it too much permissions.
Should I create a new user in Azure AD, add it to Azure Repo with read only and use it in the script? Or is there a better way than creating real users.
If you want to allow your git script to only access one specific Azure Repo. I'm afraid you will need to create a new user as a service account.
After the service account is created and added to your azure devops organization. You can set its access permission to only one repo in the project settings page. See below:
First deny its access to all the repositories.
Project settings-->Click Git repositories-->Search for the service account-->Deny Read permission
Then allow the Read permission to that one specific repository.
Project settings-->Select the repository you want allow the read permission-->Search for the service account-->Allow Read permission
The PAT generated from this service account will only have the access to that specific repo.
I have a couple open source projects hosted on GitHub where I would like to use Azure pipelines for automated testing, building, and deploying. These projects typically involve collaborating with others outside my institution. My Azure account is an Organizational account for the University where I work. If I create an organization on Azure it ends up being "owned" by my University which means that collaborators have to go through some extra hoops to get access to the Azure organization (become a user or project admin). We've also considered having my collaborator create the organization, but their account is also tied to their institution and has even more restrictions.
Apart from making a separate Azure account on a separate email, is there any way that I can make an organization that isn't "owned" by my University?
You could create a new DevOps organization, and disconnect the AAD from Organization Settings -- Azure Active Directory, then you could add the external users in this organization. In this way, external users won't be added in the azure.
