Azd Installation

Installing the Azd plugin is straightforward. This guide will walk you through the process of installing the plugin and connecting it to your Azure DevOps account.

Install the Azd plugin

Open JetBrains IDE
- Launch your JetBrains IDE and navigate to the Plugins section.
Search for Azd Plugin
- Under the plugins' marketplace tab search, type in Azd and click on the Install button.
- Wait for the installation to complete and restart your IDE when prompted.

Generating a Personal Access Token for the Azd Plugin

To properly connect to your Azure DevOps account, you will need to generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following scopes:

vso.build_execute
vso.code_status
vso.code_write
vso.graph
vso.identity
vso.profile
vso.project
vso.security_manage
vso.test
vso.threads_full
vso.work_write

Connect to Azure DevOps

Now that the IDE is running with the Azd plugin, and you have your PAT ready, you can connect to your Azure DevOps account.

You can Log in either from the ToolWindow or from the Settings:

Open the Azd ToolWindow:
Click on the Login button to add a new Azure DevOps account.
In the Add AZD Account panel set the url and your secret PAT.
Note
When connecting from the toolwindow, the plugins append the detected Azure Devops' Organization/Collection name automatically. So only in case you have multiple organizations and the selected one is not the one you want to connect to, you will have to change it manually.

Navigate to: Settings | Version Control | Azure DevOps
Click on button to add a new Azure DevOps account.
In the Add AZD Account panel set the url and your secret PAT.
Important
When connecting from the settings, the plugin does not append the Azure Devops' Organization/Collection name automatically to server URL, so you will have to fill that manually,
For clarification, the above image shows the URL without the organization name so the user must add it manually to successfully connect to the Azure DevOps.
