TFS Permission and Administration Tools

SRLTeam - TFS Permission Manager 1.0 is Finally out

"...

Using this tool you can:

  • Add or remove TFS group membership, Reporting Services role membership and SharePoint role membership
  • Set Server and Project-level permissions
  • Set AreaPath and Source Control permissions
  • Create new TFS users with permissions identical to those of specified existing user
  • Save user permissions as template and use it later to create new or update existing users.

..."

There's a new TFS permission administration tool in town... This one seems to take a step further into TFS, allowing more permission tweaks then the TFS Admin Tool.

I like the sound of the template feature...

I've installed it with no problems and pointed it at my TFS server and it seems to work.

For simple permission admin, I'd say stick with the TFS Admin Tool. When you need to do more, or to go deeper, then this tool comes into play...
