'In Azure Boards, how to prevent team from changing priority of user stories in the sprint backlog?
Solution 1:[1]
The permissions in TFS aren't granular enough to prevent this specific field from being changed.
You'd need to use witadmin
to set a rule on the Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority
field to be <READONLY not =""/>
with a team/user group in the ""
; e.g. READONLY not="[project]\Project Administrators" />
, where you're the only user in that group.
witadmin
isn't for the faint of heart, so if you're not comfortable editing work item templates, you might just need to wrap their knuckles when they change the priority.
-- or --
You're talking about the order of items on the backlog, which would be their stack rank. In which case, you'd want to do the same but on the Microsoft.VSTS.Common.StackRank
field.
