Hi Roman,

Thank you for your post.

I reproduce the issue by using a Project Collection Administrators account to edit WIT through process editor in VS11, i get the same error message as you described in the post. For this scenario, I suggest you submit this issue to Microsoft Connect site http://connect.microsoft.com/. Microsoft engineers will help confirm the issue.

Thanks,

Answer 4

Roman,

You will be able to interact with TFSpreview using VS2010 as well. Can you please perform the same steps and advise if you can reproduce the issue. 

What level of permission do you have on the team project?

Answer 5

Process template customization is not allowed on the TF Service Preview at this time. It will be in the future, but not now. What you are seeing it expected behavior.
