Look up a project administrator

TFS 2018

The Project Administrators group is the main administrative security group defined for a project. Members of the Project Administrators group have permissions to perform the following common tasks:

  • Delete and rename the project
  • Add users and teams to the project
  • Add and manage Area Paths and Iteration Paths
  • Add and manage shared query folders
  • Add members and groups to the Project Administrators group or any other project-level group
  • Manage permissions at the project-level or for any object defined for the project.

To add members to the Project Administrators group or change a project-level permission see Change project-level permissions.

For a description of each project-level group, see Security groups, service accounts, and permissions, Project-level groups. To understand how security groups are used to manage permissions, see Get started with permissions, access, and security groups.
