It's actually going to be found under Area security. Within VS 2008:

  1. In Team Explorer, click on the appropriate team project that you want to check/change
  2. Choose the Team-->Team Project Settings-->Areas and Iterations menu.
  3. choose the appropriate area. If you don't have any defined, or you want it to apply to all of them, choose the "Area" node.
  4. Click on the Security... button.
  5. The permissions to edit work items is set here: Edit work items in this node
