How do I add users to TFS?

In the Team Foundation Server Group properties dialog box, click Windows User or Group, and then click Add. In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, type the user accounts you want to add, and then click Add. Note You can add individual user accounts but not a group account. Click Close.

How do I change users in TFS?

Another approach you can take that worked for me, was to log into the web interface for TFS, then use that to log in as another user. So, navigate to: http://yourtfshost:8080/collection/web/ (or whatever your web address is).. Then, click on your name in the corner and select "sign in as a different user."

What TFS 2010?

Microsoft's answer to that question is Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010. TFS is a comprehensive suite of services that allows developers and teams to manage just about every aspect of the application lifecycle.

I had the same challenge. It isn't obvious how this can be done without Visual Studio but here we go... On your TFS 2010 server:

  • Go to Team Foundation Server Administration Console
  • Navigate to your Team Project Collection
  • Select Group Membership from the General tab
  • Open Project Collection Valid Users. It should include your Team Projects's groups as members.
  • Select suitable Team Project group and add your user into that group.
