Clarify the permissions that CodeRabbit needs. #460
Conversation
WalkthroughThe documentation for generating a Personal Access Token in Azure DevOps was updated to clarify the specific permissions required. The instructions now explicitly mention "Read, write, & manage" access for "Work Items" and "Code," and recommend "Read" access to "Build" for Pro tier users. Step numbering and instructions were also adjusted. Changes

Impact AnalysisClarify Azure DevOps Personal Access Token permissions requirements📢 Medium 🔄 Impacts behavior 🔒Impacts security Updated the Azure DevOps setup documentation to require Read, write & manage access for “Work Items” and “Code” when creating a Personal Access Token (PAT) to enable posting code reviews, and recommends Read access to “Build” for Pro subscribers to support pipeline failure remediation. A new step for clicking “Create” was added and step numbering was adjusted. Verify that the documented permission scopes match the actual requirements in Azure DevOps and consider if any additional scopes (e.g., “Packaging” or “Release”) need mention for related workflows. Follow the revised instructions end-to-end: generate a PAT with the specified scopes, confirm you can post code reviews, and for Pro accounts, validate you can view build details when pipelines fail. 🔍 Related Files

97-98: Re-check whether “Manage” scope is truly required
Granting the full Read, write, & manage permission set gives the PAT the ability to delete repos, administer branch policies, etc. If CodeRabbit only needs to read PRs and post review comments, Write on “Work Items” and “Code” is usually enough; “Manage” may violate the principle of least privilege. Please verify against the product’s API calls and trim the scope if possible.
