Is there a way to restrict user access to their own work items in Azure DevOps Boards?


Using Azure DevOps, I received a request from the business to restrict user access to their own (meaning, created by or assigned to them) work items in Azure DevOps Boards. I created different areas for the corresponding teams, I am able to restrict view/edit of the areas, and with this team A can see work items in area A but not area B. This is fine, however not granular enough for my need.

Is there a way to restrict the user to see their own work items only and not the entire team's work items? I know this kind of defeat the purpose of collaborative work but business requirements are business requirements :(

Any help will be much appreciated.


Solution

  • Indeed. I have just created a single-user team for each user, with their dedicated area path. This way they are completely isolated from each other and cannot see other team's (individual´s) work items.
