TF30172: You don't have permission

Question

I have a tfs server installed, and it allow me to connect, but when try to create a team project, it shows this message.

TF30172: You do not have permission to create a new team project.

All my permission are currently set, or at at least I think so.

What else can I check?

Answer 1

This is a know issue with Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2012.

From Buck Hodges' blog:

You must use the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2012 (included in all Visual Studio editions or may be separately downloaded) to create a team project on a TFS 2012 server. If you use VS 2010, you will get an error about not having permission. The error message is very misleading, because it’s not a problem with your permissions.

You should to install this hotfix to resolve this issue.
