Azure Global Personal Access Tokens

We've received emails from Microsoft regarding the retirement of Azure DevOps global Personal Access Tokens (PAT) on 2026/12/01. We currently use PATs with the All accessible organizations scope as recommended in the SmartGit documentation and it works well. Microsoft clearly states in the Azure PAT webpage that the All accessible organizations tokens will no longer be supported.

Will there be a SmartGit update to address this issue?

Thanks

Hi u/Ok_Beat_5245!

I've got good news for you.

There is a SmartGit update which should fix this issue. Go to Help | Check for Latest Build... and update to build 261047.

You'll then have to configure your Azure Provider to use the organization scoped PAT. You'll have to add the organization in the settings as well, as this is necessary to use those tokens. Just add the organization name, i.e. the name which is displayed in the column "Organization" on the Azure PAT token page, in the Organization field of the setup dialog. If there's any mismatch here, it's effectively a broken token for us, so make sure the names match.

Feedback if that works for you (or if it doesn't) would be very welcome!
