TFS 2010 – Adding users to a Team Project

active-directoryteam-foundation-servervisual studio

Tried searching the archives, but nothing showed up and now I'm totally messed up in my head.

I'm running my own little domain setup on a virtual server:

  • Server 1, PDC, Exchange
  • Server 2, SQL
  • Server 3, IIS, TFS 2010 and some other misc stuff

Now I'm connection from my dekstop computer which is not connected to the domain, but I can still use the TFS and other services when I'm not joined to the domain, which is kind a nice, since I'm in a other location most of the time.

Now I have a friend that I want to host a Team Project for … I can create it via Visual Studio 2010 … BUT … how do I set the permissions to a domain users when my desktop machine is not a member of the domain?

I can't even find an option in the "Team Foundation Server Administration Console" on the server … there I can only find options to set global security settings, but not on the on a single "Team Project"

I have also tried from the tfs web interface … no luck there either.

Can it really be true that its only possible from a machine that is joined to the domain?

Just blogged about the solution at: Adding users to a TFS Project from the server.

It can actually be done from the server.

  • Open the "Team Foundation Server Administration Console"
  • In the left pane, go to "Server -> Application Tier -> Team project collections"
  • The tab "General"
  • Group membership"
  • Select the "[DefaultCollection]\Project Collection Valid Users"
  • Here you can see all the projects and groups ...

This is the most odd way ... but is was there :-)
