Azure DevOps REST API (Go): How to retrieve all users with permissions on a project? [duplicate]

Question

I’m trying to retrieve all users who have permissions on a specific Azure DevOps project (i.e., the users shown in the project’s Permissions tab).

I understand how to retrieve a list of projects using the Core API in Go (golang):

organizationUrl := "https://dev.azure.com/{Organization}"

However, this only returns projects and does not include any users or permission data.

I’ve also tried querying the project directly by searching this in my browser:

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/projects/{projectId}

This returns project metadata but still does not expose users or permissions.

After reviewing the REST API documentation, I can’t find a single endpoint that returns the users associated with a project’s permissions. I’m aware that Azure DevOps permissions are often assigned via groups, but it’s unclear which APIs are required to reproduce the data shown in the Permissions tab.

Question:

Is there a way to use the REST APIs that directly returns all users with permissions on a project?

If not, please tell me which combination of APIs (Graph, Security, etc.) is required to retrieve:

Project security groups.
Users within those groups.

I’m specifically looking for a REST-based solution which I can use from Golang.

You should be able to use User Entitleements and it has properties associated to the project and the permissions.

{
  "groupOptions": [
    {
      "group": {
        "groupType": "projectReader"
      }
    }
  ],
  "projectRefs": [
    {
      "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
      "name": "Example Project"
    }
  ]
}
