I have two Team projects and I am trying to set access permissions. There are contributors and administratora. Only administrators should be the only person who is allowed to delete the or create Team Projects. I though it might be done through the adminsitrators/contributors groups on the projects level but it doesn't seem to work. As soon as I add user to the licensed users group - they get all the rights right away.

Now I am totally confused - without being addedto the licensed users group user can not get any access to the Team Server. But as soon as user added - other settings are don't have any effect. Even not being an administraotr or contributor users are able to edit projects or create new ones.

And another thing which I don't get - I expected that if I click project in Team Explorer and assign permissions through the top menu - those permissions will stick only to that project. But access seems to be replicated over all projects...

Hello,

Look at this documentation:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252512.aspx

Are you using TFS in a workgroup environment? If yes, then the licensed users should get permissions only to connect to TFS. They shouldn't automatically be getting admin type of privileges. Can you ensure that the users in question do not belong to TFS Administrators group?

Hope this helps!

I have TFS workgroup edition.

Those users I mentioned listed only as a licensed users. Menawhile I don't need to assign any project-level admin or contributor rights because all listed in licensed users list have an access to nay project on the server...

Has the Licensed Users group specifically been granted administrative privileges? You can double check by right-clicking on the server name in Team Explorer and then selecting "Team Foundation Server Settings" -> "Security..."
