Give Contributors read access to Wiki - Azure Devops

I can't find anywhere something to give Contributors access to the wiki

I've already tried to check the "Permission" tab

Solution

  • Give Contributors read access to Wiki

    We could get contributors read permission to access Wiki via configure the wiki permission.

    Steps: select the wiki and click the button Wiki Security->select the permission group Contributors and ensure the permission Read is set to Allow, check the pic below

    In addition, if the Contributors user still cannot access Wiki. Since the Deny permission overrides Allow in the Azure DevOps, we need to enter the user account and check the user personal permission, ensure the personal permission is set to allow.

    Update1

    According to the pic, you are using code wiki instead of project wiki.

    If you want to configure the code wiki permission, we could configure the repo permission to set up the code wiki permission.

    Steps: Open project settings->Repositories->select the Repository and click the tab Permissions->then select the group Contributors and ensure the permission Read is set to allow.

    If the permission is set to deny, check the pic below:

    And we cannot see the wiki in the drop-down list. By the way, by default, all members of the Contributors group can edit and view Wiki pages(both code wiki and project wiki). You could refer to this doc for more details.

    In addition, In the Azure DevOps, for most groups and almost all permissions, Deny overrides Allow. If a user belongs to two groups, and one of them has a specific permission set to Deny, that user is not able to perform tasks that require that permission even if they belong to a group that has that permission set to Allow. You could check this doc for more details.
