Deny or Allow – who wins? A sequel

In a previous post, I have explored the details of effective permission evaluation in TFS.

As a supplement for this post (and generally as a reference for everyone managing TFS permissions), I highly recommend a recent “TFS Roles and Security” reference poster from Willy-Peter Schaub, Team System MVP from SA. The poster details available permissions, default TFS server and projects groups and their assigned permissions and how effective permissions are determined.

And while we are at the topic, check out additional reference posters available from Willy-Peter. These posters are different from boring bunch of tables that you might expect from your previous experiences; take a look for yourself how information presented in graphical way becomes more accessible. For example, compare “Roles and Security” poster with MSDN article providing essentially same information.
