Is there way we could determine the usage of TFS Extensions in our organisation?

Question

We are using TFS 2018 (2018.1 to be precise). I need to find out how many projects are using a particular TFS Extension. How can I get this information? Few of these extensions are installed through Visual Studio Market Place and few are developed internally.

Answer 1

Actually, when you install a extension, you need to specify a collection, the extension will be installed for all team projects under this collection.

In other words, extensions are installed into the collection level , it's not able to use extension for a specific project. All projects in the collection are installed.

You could take a look at our official link here: Install extensions for on-premises servers

For now, only with for a paid extension, you can restrict who can access it by Assigning paid extension access to users .

Update

However, to find out the number of builds or projects using a particular TFS extension is not available at present. There's no such build-in feature.

You could submit a feature request in Azure DevOps Develop Community site . Our PM will kindly review your suggestion.
