SHORT DESCRIPTION
    The AzDevOps Authentication module provides a method for connecting to an
    Azure Devops Organization.
 
LONG DESCRIPTION
    This module leverages a Personal Access Token in order to authenticate into
    Azure DevOps. A PAT is an alternate password that allows a simpler method of
    authenticating into Azure DevOps. You will need to create the PAT within the
    Azure Devops Portal before youare able to connect.
    1. Login to your Azure Devops Organization 2. Access your account profile
    and select User Settings 3. Select Personal Access Tokens then click New
    Token 4. Provide a name, choose the organization to use, and set an
    expiration 5. Define your scopes 6. Copy the token and store it in a safe location
    A future release will look to add oAuth authentication which should provide
    a more robust authentication mechanism than simple PATs.
 
Connect-AzDevOpsOrganization
    This is the function that is used to connect to AzDevOps.
 
EXAMPLES
    PS C:\> Connect-AdoOrganization -Orgname patton-tech -PAT **********
     
    Connected to https://dev.azure.com/patton-tech/
 
    Connecting to your Azure DevOps organization
 
NOTE
    A PAT will need to be created in advance
 
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE
    Some issues that can arise with a valid token are scopes that do not provide
    enough access for the action required.
