I want access to our partners ADO to view test plans, dashboards, defects for our companies project what access needs setting up/licences

To provide your partners access to view test plans, dashboards, and defects in Azure DevOps (ADO) while limiting their visibility to your specific project, you will need to set up appropriate access levels and permissions.

1. Access Levels: Your partners will need at least Basic access to view dashboards and test plans. Stakeholders can view dashboards but have limited capabilities regarding test plans and defects.
2. Permissions: You can manage permissions at the project level. All project members can view dashboards, but only those with Basic access can create and edit dashboards. You can set specific permissions to restrict access to only your project.
3. Dashboard Creation: Users with Basic access can create their own dashboards. You can also set permissions to allow them to add and configure project dashboards if needed.
4. Limiting Access: To restrict access to only your project, ensure that your partners are added as members of your Azure DevOps project. They will need to sign in to view the dashboards and other resources.

In summary, you will need to request Basic access licenses for your partners and manage their permissions to ensure they can view and create dashboards specific to your project only.
