配置VSTS权限：允许用户查看Test and Feedback图片及使用@标签

Hi there, let’s work through your permissions issues with Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) step by step:

The broken images from the Test and Feedback extension are tied to test management artifacts, so the issue is almost certainly missing permissions for viewing test-related content. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Go to your project’s Project Settings (click the gear icon in the bottom left corner).
2. Navigate to Permissions > Security.
3. In the left sidebar, select the user group that includes your affected team members (e.g., Contributors or your custom team group).
4. Scroll down to the Test Management section of permissions on the right, and ensure these are set to Allow:
   • View test artifacts: This grants access to screenshots/videos uploaded via Test and Feedback, which are stored as test artifacts.
   • View test runs: If the media is linked to an implicit test run generated by the extension, this permission is also required.
5. Double-check that no Deny permissions are overriding these allows—deny permissions always take priority over allows.

Note: The extra slash in the image URL (DefaultCollection//TestManagement) is likely a minor extension quirk, but fixing the permissions should resolve the "no appropriate permissions" error regardless.

The @ tag issue is related to viewing project-level user/group data and editing work item comments. Here’s what to check:

1. From the same Project Settings > Permissions > Security page, select the affected user group.
2. In the General permissions section, make sure View project-level information is set to Allow. This lets users see the project’s user list to mention others.
3. Also confirm the group has Edit work items permission enabled—this is required to add comments (including @ mentions) to bugs and tasks.

Quick Troubleshooting Tip #

If you’re still stuck, try adding one affected user directly to the Contributors group temporarily. If they can then view images and use @ mentions, it means your custom group permissions have restrictive settings that need adjusting.
