I typically go into Central Administration and set the policy for web application to the tfs admin group I have set up in active directory. That gives you admin of all the tfs project sharepoint sites.

That's one of the new features of WSS 3.0. You can find a more detailed explanation here. http://vsts-fu.blogspot.com/2008/10/tf30063-you-are-not-authorized-to.html John Burns Notion Solutions, Inc. 214.405.8926 - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Nagy Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 4:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: WSS Permissions for ALL project sites Hiyas, I fall down when it comes to the WSS side of TFS. I mean, I hit the ground really hard... I am running one of the HyperV images from MS for TFS. I renamed one of the accounts to 'Steven' (because that's my name, not Darren, can MS fix this please? :) ) I have created 5 projects with the TFSSetup account with no problems (other than those Martin helped me with over twitter). But my 'Steven' user cannot see the contents of 'Documents' and gets bounced for permissions when trying to hit the sites directly. So I added him to 'Site Collection Administrators', 'Administrator full access for the root site', and every other permission I could find. I then did the same in central administration - Site Collection Administrator, and added me to the Farm administrators. Still can't get documents for any project. Added me individually on one of the projects as 'full control', and bingo, I get documents access. So which permission is the grand daddy of all others, and will give me access to all current and future projects all in one foul swoop?
