Does anyone know where I can set the permission to manage deployment groups in Azure DevOps.

If i click on "deployment groups" in the menu shown here:

I am receiving this message when i click on a deployment group.

enter image description here

The error message states:

You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release manager to grant permission

I am a member of both project administrators and build administrators groups.

What are your agent pool permissions? A deployment group is a special kind of agent pool. – Daniel Mann
If i go to agent pools by going to organization settings->agent pools and i click "security" i receive another message "You do not have permissions to edit roles for this resource" – Matt
There you go. You need to be granted permission to manage agent pools. – Daniel Mann
I totally agree but do you happen to know where this permission is located? i do not see this permission available anywhere. – Matt
What do your permissions show in: https://dev.azure.com/{your-organization-name}/_settings/deploymentpools?view=pools – m00nbeam360.0

I can reproduce your problem and solve it with the following permission settings.

Click Manage in the Deployment pool

If you get this error you do not have permission to manage this deployment pool's roles to prevent you from modifying permissions in Security. You need to be added to Project Collection Administrators group in organization setting permissions. If you can't be added to the PCA group, you can let the users in the PCA group help you modify it.

Set the user's Role to Administrator in Security, click Save Changes.

After this setting, you will not receive the error message:You do not have permissions to register targets. Contact your release manager to grant permission when you enter the Deployment groups.
