Get started managing your project

[!INCLUDE version-lt-eq-azure-devops.md]

With most Azure DevOps Services, you can start using the service and configure resources as you go. No up-front work is required. Most settings define defaults.

If you created a project or you're added to the Project Administrators group, get familiar with the administrative tasks you're charged with. There are a few tasks you might want to do to ensure a smooth operational experience.

Note

This article provides an overview of tasks a member of the Project Administrators group should review and attend to. For information on tasks to be performed by members of the Project Collection Administrators group, see Manage your organization or project collection.

Manage security and permissions

Permissions and security groups control access to specific tasks. To quickly understand the defaults configured for your project, see Default permissions and access.

[!INCLUDE project-level-permissions]

For more information about security and setting permissions at the project-level, review the following articles:

Add members to the Project Administrators group

[!INCLUDE add-project-administrators]

Grant or restrict permissions

Permissions are managed at the following three levels and through role-based assignments.

  • object
  • project
  • organization or collection

As a member of the Project Administrators group, you can grant or restrict permissions for all objects and at the project-level. To delegate specific tasks to others, we recommend that you add them to a built-in or custom security group, or add them to a specific role. For more information, see the following articles.

Configure and customize Azure Boards

You can configure and customize Azure Boards to support many business requirements for planning and tracking work. At a minimum, you should configure the following elements:

  • Area paths to group work items by team, product, or feature area
  • Iteration paths to group work into sprints, milestones, or other event-specific or time-related periods

If you're new to Azure Boards and want an in-depth overview of what you can configure and customize, see Configure and customize Azure Boards.
