TFS permissions to create Team Projects in a specific collection

Question

We have several Collections in our TFS 2010 server. This server hosts all of our TFS related services.

I'd like to allow a specific programmer to create Team Projects within his dedicated collection. He belongs to the collection's TFS administrators group. When he tries to create a new Team Project, it fails with a Reporting permissions error. I understand that he also needs Reporting services permissions to create the relevant Reporting objects for the new Team Project, but I don't want him to be a full admin for the whole server's Reporting Services.

Is there a way to allow him the full ability to create new Team Projects without making a full Reporting Services admin?

source:http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8175 To grant administrative permissions for a team project collection in Reporting Services

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. In the Address bar, type the following URL, where ReportServer is the name of the server that is running Reporting Services: http://ReportServer/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
3. Click the Properties tab, and then click New Role Assignment.
4. In Group or User Name, type the name of the account for the user or group to whom you want grant administrative permissions.
5. In Role, click Team Foundation Content Manager, and then click OK.

The one thing missing in the manual, is that you need to do this for /TfsReports/[collectionname] while setting stop security inheratence.
