Getting the creator of an devops projects

Is it possible through the DevOps REST API to get the person who created the project? We are trying to delegate resposnibility to each project.

Solution

  • In Azure DevOps, the information about the user who created a project is not directly accessible through the rest api.

    But you can find the user who created the project from Aduit log:

    enter image description here

    You can export the audit log as csv format, and search Project {projectname} creation was started, it will show the user email.

    Please note event get stored for 90 days in audit log, you can backup audit events to an external location to keep the data for longer than the 90-day period.
