How to create group membership in TFS?

Question

I want to create group membership using the template below for the created team project (not for the new one):

<group name="Active" description="Active"> <permissions> <permission name="GENERIC_READ" class="PROJECT" allow="true" /> <permission name="DELETE_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" /> <permission name="PUBLISH_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" /> <permission name="VIEW_TEST_RESULTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" /> <permission name="GENERIC_READ" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" /> <permission name="WORK_ITEM_READ" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" /> <permission name="WORK_ITEM_WRITE" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" /> <permission name="MANAGE_TEST_PLANS" class="CSS_NODE" allow="true" /> <permission name="MANAGE_TEST_ENVIRONMENTS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" /> <permission name="MANAGE_TEST_CONFIGURATIONS" class="PROJECT" allow="false" /> </permissions> </group> 

note that in the existing wizard to create a new group membership (Context menu> Team Project Options> Group Membership) I cannot set WORK_ITEM_WRITE and WORK_ITEM_READ !

Answer 1

The XML says: class="CSS_NODE" . This means that the WORK_ITEM_WRITE and WORK_ITEM_READ set for each area in the team project, and not for the team project itself.

Permissions at the regional level apply only to individual users and groups of the project. You can set these permissions with , by right-clicking the project in Team Explorer, clicking "Scopes and iterations" and on the "Scope" tab, clicking "Security" .

See “Scope Permissions” on the “Team Foundation Server Permissions” page on MSDN.
