To enable effective data synchronization from Azure Release Pipelines into DevOps Intelligence, it's crucial to establish an adequately configured Azure DevOps connection. This connection is a secure bridge between the two platforms, allowing seamless data transfer and management. Establishing this connection enables DevOps Intelligence to leverage Azure Pipeline's robust capabilities, enhancing its monitoring and reporting features. This configuration enhances the accuracy and efficiency of data handling and amplifies the overall functionality of the DevOps Intelligence tool.

**Access rights**: The connection must have the following access rights:

- **Build and Deploy**: Read access right.
- **User profile**: Read access right.

To access templates, you must have specific roles; please see:

# Roles required

As a user, your permissions determine the actions you can perform on the bring-your-own (BYO) template data. You must view, create, update and delete roles to perform the respective actions. By default, these permissions are granted to the Editor. The Viewer, on the other hand, is only endowed with the view role.
