Default Git repository and branch permissions

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

After you've been added as a team member, you are a member of the Contributors group. This membership allows you to contribute to a Git repository. The most common built-in groups include Readers, Contributors, and Project Administrators. These groups are assigned default permissions for contributing to a branch or repository.


By default, the project-level Readers groups have read-only permissions.

Administer: Delete and rename repositories: If assigned to the top-level Git repositories entry, can add additional repositories. At the branch level, users can set permissions for the branch and unlock the branch. The Administer permission set on an individual Git repository does not grant the ability to rename or delete the repository. These tasks require Administer permissions at the Git repositories top-level.

Rewrite and destroy history (force push): Can force an update to a branch and delete a branch. A force update can overwrite commits added from any user. Users with this permission can modify the commit history of a branch.
