Azure DevOps - permissions issue with deployment groups

Question

Does anyone know where I can set the permission to manage deployment groups in Azure DevOps.

If i click on "deployment groups" in the menu shown here:

I am receiving this message when i click on a deployment group.

The error message states:

You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release manager to grant permission

I am a member of both project administrators and build administrators groups.

Answer 1

I can reproduce your problem and solve it with the following permission settings.

Click Manage in the Deployment pool

If you get this error you do not have permission to manage this deployment pool's roles to prevent you from modifying permissions in Security. You need to be added to Project Collection Administrators group in organization setting permissions. If you can't be added to the PCA group, you can let the users in the PCA group help you modify it.

Set the user's Role to Administrator in Security, click Save Changes.

After this setting, you will not receive the error message:You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release manager to grant permission when you enter the Deployment groups.
