I created window user group and grant all permission for this group in "Team Project Collections". And when I used VS 2013 to connect to TFS server try to get latest file.
Steps
Connect to team project.
From the "Connect to Team Foundation Server" dialog, i can only see my Team Project collection in left panel but can't see the team project on the right panel.
then Proceed in Source Explorer, i can see my team project, try get latest version by click "Get Latest", it's show all files up to date, but when i check from local directory nothing is downloaded.
Is anything i did wrong? Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks.
From the "Connect to Team Foundation Server" dialog, i can only see my
Team Project collection in left panel but can't see the team project
on the right panel.
At this point you should be able to see the projects that you have access to under the TPC's that you have access to. Ensure at minumum you are in the contributors group for each PROJECT that you require access to
I wouldn't progress until you can see projects at this point.

Trying to download a project from Azure DevOps.
I downloaded the code successfully, but when I try to bind this code to the source control (using Source Control Explorer), I received the next error "Team Foundation Version Control is not your current Source Control plug-in".
There is a link in this message error. When I clicked on it, I reach Options --> Source Control --> Plug-in Selection. In "Current Source Control plug-in" field is already selected "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server".
As I read in another place, I tried to select none in this option. Save. And select "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" again, but it is not working.
Sincerely, quite lost. Could you please give me any hint or something?
Thanks
You might have connected to a Git repository in your project. Use Team Explorer and Solution Explorer to manage your files in Git repos.
For more information, you could refer to this documentation.
I have different accounts with different VSO subscriptions. I'm trying to connect to a different account (from the one I'm logged in VS-2015) so that I can check in code in the repository that I have in that account. But when trying this, Visual Studio brings me to the profile website, from which is basically a dead end - what am I supposed to do from there?
The "Connect to Team Foundation Server screen sometimes just freezes after authentication, and doesn't go anywhere from there.
So clearing the settings file, which is named CurrentSettings usually in the folder C:\Users\your user name \Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Settings (Windows) - helped get passed this issue.
Also, when you are brought to the VSO Profile page (the one I showed in my picture question) you have to select the project you are trying to open.
I'm using Visual Studio Team Services (was TFS Online) server {MyProject}.visualstudio.com. I'm able to connect to the server, map the project, even receive a review request, but I can't see my team projects under DefaultCollection.
Currently when I'm opening the Source Control Explorer I'm only seeing
{MyProject}.visualstudio.com\DefaultCollection
underlying projects are missing, but my user is in project team members list.
What I missed, what I should do else to be able to browse my projects, get and work with them?
Note: My account was not a microsoft account. I received an email to join the visual studio after tfs administrator added my email as the project team member. I follow to the link and I create a new account during VS sign up using that email and then successfully signed in.
Thanks a lot
This is usually caused by the "Access Level" that the Admin assigned to your account.
When your account is assigned as "Stakeholder", you can only access to "Work" section, cannot access to "Code". If you want the access to "Code", you need to ask your Admin to change the access level of your account.
Have the TFS Admin review your user's rights to the code in the team project. Generally we add users to the Contributor role for the project.
You should also try hitting the Refresh button (third from the right) on the Source Control Explorer window.
I had similar problem and as usual Microsoft has not useful error. Here is step by step tutorial to fix it.
The problem
Solution
This is related to user permissions. Note two things
If you are using 5 user free version, make sure to select user as "Basic user". Free version allows only basic membership.
Then go to Security setting, expand to see "Team Foundation Administrators" and add the new user this. This should resolve the browe project issue.
I can't seem to figure out this permission issue. I setup permissions on a TFS collection to allow access to certain folders in that collection. That is working fine. The users are part of a windows group. The users have VS2010 and VS2012, looking under "Team"->"Connect to Team Foundation Server" the users don't see the collection. If I go to Source Control Explorer they can see the collection and are able to use it as they need.
The question is: why can't they see the collection in "Connect to Team Foundation Server"? Is there some special permission that I need to enable to see the collection in "Connect to Team Foundation Server"?
For folks to be able to connect to a Team Project they needs to be in the Reader group of that team project as a minimum. If you just add them to the source control folder without adding then to the team project you will get the symptoms that you report.
If you connect to Team Web Access and navigate to the project you can add the user to the Team on the team dashboard.
If you are using pre-TFS 2012 you can connect in Team Explorer and right-click on the Team Explorer node of the Team Project in question and select "Group Membership". Add the users to at lease Reader, but most likely Contributor.
I have a project on vs 2010. I have tried to add project on windows server 2003 which has tfs 2010 installed. Later on I have switched to windows server 2008 and then installed tfs 2010 again. But I have changed server name.
Now, when I try to add project to tfs, I receive and error says that;
Team Foundation services are not available from server http://old server name:8080/tfs/. Technical information (for administrator): The remote name could not be resolved: 'old server name'
I have tried to add different projects but I havent received any errors. I am thinking problem is like, visual studio installed on my client computer has registered project with old server name and still tries the same server but team explorer can not find the server.
what shall I do?
PS: I am not tring to get my codes on old server. I did not use tfs, just wanted to learn it.
If you get the message when you open Visual Studio then you need to go to Team Explorer and click the "Connect to Team Project" button, then click on the "servers" button and remove the old server. If you need to you can also add the new server here.
If it's when you're opening the solution then you need to remove the Source Control bindings
open the solution and then go to "File", "Source Control", "Change Source Control" this will open up a screen where you can Unbind the Projects and Solutions from the old server.
