Using Workspace Access Token to Integrate with Azure DevOps

[Maksym Stakanov]

Is there a way to utilize a generated Workspace Access Token in an Azure DevOps Service Connection?

I’m trying to set up an Azure DevOps Pipeline for our company that will access a Bitbucket repository securely without tying the connection to a specific user.

Hi Maksym,

Unfortunately this is not possible. Bitbucket Cloud workspace access tokens are specifically designed for authenticating with Bitbucket Cloud services. It is not intended for use with Azure DevOps, which is a separate service with its own authentication mechanisms.

To authenticate with Azure DevOps, you could try using an OAuth token instead, which is not tied to a specific user account:

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud/

There is some documentation on the Azure side for this as well:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/bitbucket?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
