How can I restrict a user permission to contribute in only one repository in AzureDevOps

I wanted to restrict a user to only one repository in AzureDevOps, the user has basic permissions at the project level. I have also given the user contribute access to that specific repository. The user is not part of any other group.

How can I restrict a user permission to contribute in only one repository in AzureDevOps

We can go Project Settings=>Repositories=>choose repos you want to protect, search the user you want to limit, and deny the Contribute-related permissions one by one:

We can even deny the Read permission so that the user can't view specific repos. Here's a blog for this topic.

PS: If you have 5 repos(A.B.C.D.E) and you want to restrict the user to only one repository(C), you have to set the permissions for A,B,D,E one by one.

To restrict user access to specific Repo, there are many ways. Irrespective user has Basic access at the Org level he/she must be part of the project role to access repo. By default below roles have access to all repo across projects enter image description here

Hence either add a user to any other role from the above list and add that role to that particular repository permissions

Another option is to create a custom role and the user to that role and add a role to repository permission.

Or if the user is not part of the above roles, the user can also be given repo access directly

Method Go to Project >> Project settings(at bottom left corner) >> go to repository settings as below enter image description here

enter image description here

In the search box enter username and add the user
