Working with Team Foundation Server we have to perform various repeating task related to user declaration and permission setting. I already wrote about TFS permission and tools. Managing permissions is complicated, and from time to time frustrating job. It took me some time to assemble utility for managing all TFS permissions aspects.

Using this tool you can:

  • Add or remove TFS group membership, Reporting Services role membership and SharePoint role membership
  • Set Server and Project-level permissions
  • Set AreaPath and Source Control permissions
  • Create new TFS users with permissions identical to those of specified existing user
  • Save user permissions as template and use it later to create new or update existing users.

History

  • 29/11/2006 - v1.0.1 - small bug fix, enable to create user as without open template file first
  • 18/12/2006 - v1.5.0 - group permissions managements is suported now, license expanded from GNU to BSD (Berkley) to allow free use.

Great tool, but it would nice if we could also manage active directory groups (unless I am mistaken, you can only manage users).

I need to connect to TFS using different network credentials so I can't use TFS Permission Manager. A solution (if you can/want) can be to create the TeamFoundationServer with the constructor instead of the factory, like this: System.Net.NetworkCredential teamFoundationCredential; teamFoundationCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("Username", "Password"); TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer("ServerName", teamFoundationCredential);

Hi, I found a couple of issues while using this. I am not able to get the "Area Path" & "Source Control" permissions. The applicaiton crashed after I select the project : ************** Exception Text ************** System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Controls.CommonStructureEdit.set_TeamFoundationServer(TeamFoundationServer value) Please advice me if you are aware of this issue. Thanks!Sudheer

I second Sudheer's comment above. Cannot view the Area Path due to application crash! Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Great tool! Please can you fix this problem?

I'm attempting to use this tool to manage TFS 2008, however I can't connect to my TFS server because the OK button in the "Connect to Team Foundation Server" dialog is disabled. Any ideas? This is driving me crazy. Is the source code available for this tool?
