Azure DevOps: Entra Profile Integration Now in Preview

The ability to use Entra profile information in Azure DevOps has been a highly requested feature from the community. This includes syncing details like profile picture, email, and name. Beyond the convenience of managing profile information in one place, this integration offers significant security and compliance benefits, particularly for enterprise users.

Enabling Entra Profile Information

For organizations backed by Entra, it’s now possible to enable this feature in **Preview Features**. Once activated, the Azure DevOps profile becomes read-only, and all profile information will be populated directly from Entra.

If any issues arise while using the Entra profile information, it’s easy to disable the feature in preview settings and revert to the original Azure DevOps profile. Feedback is encouraged, as it will be closely reviewed to address any concerns.

What’s Next?

In the coming weeks, this preview feature will be enabled by default. Users will still have the option to opt-out and provide feedback, but no action is required to start using it.

Once the feature reaches General Availability, Azure DevOps organizations connected to an Entra directory will exclusively use Entra for profile information, and end users will no longer be able to edit their profiles within Azure DevOps.
