VS30063: You are not authorized to access

Question

I just moved my tfs 2013 to a new server and also upgraded to tfs 2015 update 1.

On my CIs, I get this weird error.

I am Project Collection Administrator, and it doesnt work I deleted the build controller, agent and created them again but it made no difference.

I even started VS as Administrator as other so question suggested, but it didnt fix anything

Answer 1

You must make sure the service account for Team Foundation Build is a member of the Build Services group. You must also make sure that the account has read/write permissions to the temporary folders and the ASP.NET temporary folder.

Answer 2

Today I spent more time searching for a solution, tried to reconnect in Team Explorer -> Manage connections -> Connect to server URL and even updated vs, no use.

However, after sign-out and sign-in again in Visual Studio, it works well now. So try Sign-out & Sign-in first. If not successful, try the same after updating the visual studio, if any updates are pending.
