Default TFVC permissions
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
All members of the Contributors group with Basic access can contribute to a TFVC repository. The most common built-in groups include Readers, Contributors, and Project Administrators. These groups are assigned the default permissions for contributing to the repository as listed below.
Note
Tasks such as create, delete, or rename a TFVC repository are not supported. Once a TFVC repository is created you can't delete it. Also, you can only have one TFVC repository per project. This is different from Git repositories which allow for adding, renaming, and deleting multiple repositories.
