Azure DevOps PAT Token

​

Introduction to the PAT

To enable Kody to perform automatic Code Reviews, you need to generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) in Azure DevOps. This token allows Kody to securely access your repositories and conduct code analysis in a controlled way.

​

Generating the PAT (Personal Access Token)

You can access the PAT settings directly using this link: Azure DevOps PATs.

Follow these steps to set up the token correctly:

1. Access Azure DevOps and go to your security settings:

   • Go to Azure DevOps and sign in.
   • Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
   • Select “Security” from the dropdown.

2. Create a new PAT:

   • Under the Personal Access Tokens section, click on “New Token”.

3. Set up the new token with the following specifications:

   • Name: Choose an easily identifiable name, such as kody_code_review.

   • Organization: Select your target organization.

   • Expiration: Choose an appropriate expiration time (e.g., 90 or 180 days).

   • Scopes: Select the following permissions:

     • Analytics: Read
     • Code: Read & Write
     • Graph: Read
     • Identities and Groups: Read
     • Project and Team: Read
     • User Profile: Read

4. Click Create.

Copy the generated token and store it securely, as you’ll need it to configure Kody.

​

Adding the Token to Kody

After generating the token, paste it into the Kody automation setup screen. The configuration modal will open automatically when you attempt to enable the automation.
