Description
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/no-new-azure-devops-oauth-apps-beginning-february-2025/
No new Azure DevOps OAuth apps beginning March 2025, so our team is planning to update our code to use Entra application instead.
With the new Entra on-behalf-of token, we can call dev API directly, like https://dev.azure.com/<our_org>/<our_project>/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=7.1-preview.1, but we can not use it with this SDK. The exception is thrown here:
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/dev/azure-devops/azure/devops/connection.py#L70
resource_areas = self._get_resource_areas()
"TF400813: The user '<user_id>' is not authorized to access this resource."
This code is supposed to fetch ResourceAreaInfo for azure.devops.connection.Connection.
Is there any workaround to use Entra token? Or any plan to update this SDK to be compatible with Entra?

Research direction
Start in azure-devops/azure/devops/connection.py at the _get_resource_areas() call around line 70, then compare the failing SDK request with the direct dev.azure.com API request described in the issue. Investigate how the Entra on-behalf-of token is passed to the Connection and ResourceAreaInfo lookup; done would require a documented workaround or confirmed SDK compatibility without the TF400813 authorization error.
