Unable to see organizational-scoped artifacts feed in Azure DevOps, while permissions set on Read

I have created an organizational-scoped Artifacts Feed in Azure DevOps and published several npm packages to it. As a user/admin of the project, I can see everything: the repository, the artifacts, etc, so everything is working here.

Now, I've just added a new user to the organization in DevOps. This user does not have any permissions to see projects, but I want to allow access to the organizational-scoped feed on which I've set Read permissions for this user.

The problem is: When this user logs into DevOps, there is no Artifacts menu visible...

I've been searching a lot of wikis and forums, but unable to find an answer. Hope someone can point me in the right direction here...

This user does not have any permissions to see projects, but I want to allow access to the organizational-scoped feed on which I've set Read permissions for this user.

To access Artifact from the UI, the user needs to have access to at least one project. Organization-Scoped Feed means that it is visible in all projects, rather than existing independently on the organization UI without accessing any project.

Besides, according to official doc Project-scoped vs organization-scoped feeds, the user interface of Organization-Scoped Feed is Always available from the feeds dropdown menu. This also means that you have to see the feeds menu before you can see the artifact, but Feeds is a menu in the project.

Therefore, add your user to the Reader group of one of your projects.

If you don't want the user to use other services, you can create a new project and turn off all services except Artifact. Go to Project Settings -> Overview -> Turn off the service you don't want the user to use.

Then the user can only see as shown below.
