Define the initial configuration of Team Foundation Build

Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018 - TFS 2013

You can customize a project's initial build permissions that are used by Team Foundation Build. The build.xml plug-in file specifies the security permissions for build activities of all projects that are created with the same process template. The following template files are uploaded to the project database:

Important

For TFS 2013 and later versions, the build.xml plug-in no longer uploads build template files. Also, for TFS 2018 and later versions, customization of build permissions using the build plug-in isn't supported. Instead, default permissions are set for project-level and collection-level
security groups for build pipelines (object-level).

The names of the file, the folder, and the plug-in for the default process templates are as follows:

File name: Build.xml
Folder name: Build Plug-in name: Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Build

Note

You can change the name of the XML file and the folder name but not the name of the plug-in. The system doesn't include a mechanism for the deployment of client-side plug-ins, policies, or other modifications. If you want to deploy this kind of functionality, you must use your own distribution and installation program.

In the Build.xml file, you specify one or more tasks and their dependencies. The TSF plug-in file specifies the permissions that are assigned to specific default security groups. For more information about the task, taskXml, and dependency elements, see Define the tasks to process a plug-in and Define dependencies for task groups and tasks.

The following code represents the default build.xml file that is defined for all default process templates.
