VariableGroupUsage

This is a simple web app that allows you to select an Azure Variable Group and it will then show you what projects it is used in.

I use this to help determine the impact of any variable groups that I need to update.

Setup

Update the appsettings.json file with the following values:

"AzureDevOps": {
    "PersonalAccessToken": "",
    "Organisation": "",
    "ProjectName": ""
}

PersonalAccessToken

Create a PAT token with the following permissions:

• Build (Read)
• Release (Read)
• Variable Groups (Read)

Organisation

The organisation can be found in the URL that you use to connect to Azure DevOps. It will be either organisation.visualstudio.com or dev.azure.com/organisation

ProjectName

This is the project within the organisation that is used. It can be found in the url organisation.visualstudio.com/projectname or dev.azure.com/organisation/projectname.

Proxy Server

If the connection uses a proxy server enter the url of the server (along with the port).
