# Run Discovery on Azure DevOps config provider

Add the Azure DevOps config provider and run Discovery to discover all projects, pipelines, and pipeline variables in an organization by using the Cloud Services Catalog application.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the **Admin** portal and select **Manage****Credentials**.

2.  Add the **API key** credential that you created with the Personal Access Token \(PAT\) credential.

    For more information on setting PAT privileges, see [Azure DevOps permissions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-services-catalog/ado-permissions.md).

3.  Prefix the Personal Access Token \(PAT\) with a colon and encode it to base64 format.

    1.  Add a colon before your PAT value.

        Format: `:PAT`

    2.  Encode the string to base64 format.

        The result is an encoded string.

4.  Prefix the encoded base64 string with `Basic` \(include a space after Basic\).

    Format: `Basic (encoded_base64_string)`

5.  Add a required alias.

6.  Navigate to **Manage** > **Config Management** and add a config provider.
