Cannot connect to sites web service for team foundation


When right clicking on my team project the 'Show Project Portal link is grayed out'. I have tried to access it through 'http://tfsserver/sites' url but recieve this error:
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
I do have administrative rights for tfs so I don't believe it is a permission issue.

It was working previously after I first installed vsts but during the process of getting everything configured for the team I somehow screwed it up along the way and it is no longer accessible.

Make sure you have the correct priveleges configured in Sharepoint. I would suggest you use the TFS admin tool to check and assign user permissions to TFS, WSS and Reporting Services.

Thanks Joe,

I downloaded the TFS Admin Tool but when I try to connect I recieve this error:

Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.

Error accessing Sharepoint site: http://tfsserver/sites/project name. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

I need to figure this out ASAP! so any help would be appreciated.

Sharepoint permissions are set on the Application Tier server. You need to have admin rights on that server to set the permissions.
