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.

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.
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

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.
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.
