Local VSTFS install and local user rights


Hi,

I was able to install TFS locally (since we don't use AD), and everything seems to be working ok. However when I set up the local accounts for the users I noticed that to let them connect from the client to the server they needed local administration rights on their local account on the server. I'd like to have them at most as power users but so far I can't get that to work.

Thanks for any help,

Have you added the local users to any Team Foundation groups? The local administrators on the application-tier are automatically in the Team Foundation Administrators group, so making the users admins will then put them in a TFS group transitively.

After looking through my groups I don't see any the are directly related to Team Foundation Server. The closest I saw was a group for sharepoint. Is there groups in the VSTFS application as well that I missed?

Thanks - John

The Team Foundation Server groups can be accessed either via the "TfsSecurity.exe" command line utility or through the Team Explorer client. We don't add any Windows groups, but rather handle our own permissions and group lists internally.

You can find more information on managing users and group in TFS here.

Cheers,
Adam
