This article explains how to generate a Personal Access Token (PAT).
A PAT is required to log in to Exalate for Azure DevOps Server.
Note: Make sure the user generating the PAT belongs to the Project Collection Administrators group.
You can verify this in Collection Settings → Security.
After clicking Collection Settings, you will see the following screen:
Sign in to Azure DevOps
1. Sign in to your organization in Azure DevOps at:https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}
2. Navigate to User Settings → Security.
Create a New Personal Access Token
1. Click Personal Access Tokens → New Token.
2. Click New Token again to begin creating one.
Configure Your Token
1. Choose a name for your token.
2. Select the organization where you want to use it.
3. Set the expiration date for the token.
Note: Set the longest expiration period for the token to keep it valid for as long as possible.
Select the following scopes:
- Work Items (vso.work) READ & WRITE
- Project and Team (vso.project) READ
- User Profile (vso.profile) READ
- Identity (vso.identity) READ

Note: Without this scope, Exalate is not able to sync work items.
When all scopes are selected, click Create.
