After my Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub benefit expired, I lost access to my Azure DevOps organization. I'm trying to recover access to my projects, repos, and pipelines.

Details about my situation:

  • The Azure subscription tied to the Startups program has expired/been disabled.
  • My Azure DevOps organization was linked to that subscription.

Now I have acces to subscription but not to DevOps organization

Azure | Azure Startups
Azure | Azure Startups

Startups: Companies that are in their initial stages of business and typically developing a business model and seeking financing.

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

    Hello @Officer Officer I hope you are doing well.

    Azure DevOps organizations are not directly tied to the lifecycle of an Azure subscription. If your Microsoft for Startups subscription has expired but you have regained access to the subscription, the issue is likely related to your Azure DevOps organization access, identity, or permissions rather than the subscription itself.

    Please check the following:

    • Verify that you are signing in with the same Microsoft account or Microsoft Entra ID account that was used to create or access the Azure DevOps organization.

    Visit https://aex.dev.azure.com/me to confirm whether your Azure DevOps organization is still associated with your account.

    If the organization exists but you no longer have access, ask another Organization Administrator to restore your permissions.

    If you are the only administrator and cannot access the organization, I recommend contacting Azure DevOps Support to help verify ownership and recover access.
