Step-by-Step Video Guide
This video shows all the steps that you need to take.
In the following sections, the steps are explained in more detail.
Why do you need to set up PAT?
Kendis uses Personal Access Token to connect to Azure DevOps. Your admin does a main connection, and it's called ALM Connection (Agile Lifecycle Management).
Users must set up their Personal Access Tokens on their Kendis profile. It will ensure that any changes made at Kendis will be reflected in AzureDevOps as that individual user. Otherwise, all actions performed at Kendis, like edit/delete, will be shown in AzureDevOps as done by user setup in the ALM account.
