Rename your organization in Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps Services

You can change your organization name (URL) at any time in Azure DevOps.

Caution

The rename operation affects your organization's connections and individuals who are currently working with your organization. Before you start, find out what to do before and after renaming your organization.

Prerequisites

To change your organization URL, you need at least Basic access and organization owner permissions. How do I find the organization owner?

Note

You can't rename an organization within one hour of the most recent rename operation.

Rename your organization

1. Sign in to your organization (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}).

2. Select Organization settings.

   

3. Select Overview, enter a new name for the organization, and then select Save. Move the toggle if you want to use the new URL.

   

   Important

   Adhere to the following guidelines when you create an organization name.

   • Use only letters from the English alphabet
   • Start your organization name with a letter or number
   • Use letters, numbers, or hyphens after the initial character
   • Ensure that your organization doesn't exceed 50 Unicode characters
   • End with a letter or number

   If you use any of the disallowed characters, you get the following error message: VS850015: The specified name is not allowed to be used: {Organization name}.

4. Confirm that you want to rename your organization and save your changes.

   

Your organization is renamed.
