  • Last update on May 30th, 2025

Configuration Manager SaaS is hosted on CoreView's cloud infrastructure, so no access to Azure DevOps required. This article does not apply to Configuration Manager SaaS.

 

Users with read-only permissions can view all information in Configuration Manager but cannot make changes on Reconcile or start or approve Syncs. 

To add a user as read-only, do the following:

Step 1: open Azure DevOps

Navigate to Azure DevOps

Step 2: create the user

Select “Organization Settings” > “Users” > “Add Users

  • Add the user's email
  • Access level set to “Basic” 
  • Under “Add to Projects” select “Tenants
  • Under “Azure DevOps Groups” select “Project Readers

Step 3: check the Readers group

Ensure the Readers group has appropriate access to the DevOps service connections

  • Navigate to Azure DevOps
  • Select the project containing the desired tenants > “Project Settings” > “Service connections

Do the following for BOTH simeoncloud and simeoncloud-packages:

  • Click the three dots in the top right corner > “Security
  • Ensure the [Tenants]\Readers group is added with User-level access.
