Error Accessing Team Plain Web Access

Question

We have created accounts for the users in Team Foundation Server (using Team Explorer --> Settings-->Security). These are doamin accounts and users have access to the server. But when they access the project using Team Plain Web Access, they get the following error message:

 

Connect to http://hqp-as-rtsdev07:8080 as NA\jingou01

 

Error while connecting to http://hqp-as-rtsdev07:8080: TF50309: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation.

 

We have tried giving them different access in TFS and finally we gave them complete access (admin previledges) to the project and they still couldn't get in. Please help.

Answer 1

 

Hi,

 

It seems like that the problem is still related with the security issues on the Team Foundation Server. Can those users connect to tfs using Team Explorer?

Answer 2

They don't have Team Explorer (No Team Suite) we only have the CAL license for them.

Answer 3

Hi Andy,

 

The error you see is coming directly from the Team Foundation Server. Please be sure that the users have the correct permissions to access tfs.

Answer 4

Hello Saralax,

 

   Here are some steps you may try from Serkan's suggestion.

 

  1. Try to use The TFSSecurity command-line to see if the user 'NA\jingou1' has enough permission.

 

       You can list the user information by the following command.

 

       tfssecurity /im n:"NA\jingou1" /servererverName

 

       

 

     a. The utility is located in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Tools on the Team Foundation Server application tier.

 

     b. To use the command, you must be a member of the Team Foundation Administrators security group. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

 

 2. You can use /g+ parameter to addthe user 'NA\jingou1' to an existing group.

    Good luck.
