​
How it works

For the CodeRabbit app to post reviews on pull requests, it needs to interact with the Azure DevOps API, which requires a Personal Access Token. This token can be generated by creating a Personal Access Token from one of your existing users. You can create a new user in Azure DevOps and generate a Personal Access Token for that user, following our recommendations.

Azure DevOps Personal Access Tokens

To interact with the Azure DevOps API, a Personal Access Token is required. This token can be generated by creating a Personal Access Token from one of your existing users. Upon first login to the application (immediately after the onboarding screen), you will need to add the Personal Access Token. CodeRabbit azure devOps integration modal

Recommendations

Best Practices for Azure DevOps Integration
  • Create a dedicated user for CodeRabbit - This ensures the user is exclusively for CodeRabbit, allowing better access control
  • Use “CodeRabbit” as the username - This makes the user easily recognizable for future reference
  • Use a dedicated email address - This helps in easy identification and management
  • Use the CodeRabbit logo as the profile picture - This further ensures easy recognition. You can download our logo from here

Key Points to Remember

Token Management
  • Personal access tokens have expiration dates. Ensure the expiration date covers the duration of your intended use of the CodeRabbit app
  • Code reviews will be attributed to the owner of the personal access token
  • If the personal access token expires, you can add a new one via the CodeRabbit UI:
    • Navigate to the Azure DevOps User page in the sidebar
    • Add the new token and click Save

​
Generating a Personal Access Token

Azure DevOps provides an option to generate a personal access token for a user. Follow these steps to generate the token:
1

Log in to Azure DevOps

Log in as the user intended for CodeRabbit reviews.
2

Access Personal Access Tokens

Next to your avatar on the header’s right side is a settings icon, click it, then choose Personal Access Tokens.
3

Create new token

Click New Token.
4

Configure token scope

Select the organization you want to use the token with or select All accessible organizations.
5

Set token details

Enter a name and an expiry date for the token.
6

Grant permissions

Grant the following permissions:
  • Read, write, & manage access to Work Items and Code (required for code reviews)
  • Read access to Build (optional, for CodeRabbit Pro pipeline failure remediation)
7

Create and save token

Click Create and save the generated token securely as it will only be displayed once.
