Control access to functional areas

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

You can configure the initial security settings for the following functional areas for a project:

  • Work item queries
  • Team Foundation version control (TFVC)
  • Team Foundation Build
  • Visual Studio Lab Management.

The default process templates assign several permissions to default security groups. You can modify these assignments by customizing the plug-in file for the corresponding functional area.

For information about how to configure initial security groups, see Configure initial groups, teams, members, and permissions. For information about how to administer users and groups, see Set up groups for use in TFS.

Assign permissions to functional areas

You can use the functional permission element to allow or deny permissions for functional areas to a security group in Team Foundation Server, a Windows group, or a Windows identity. You use this element in the plug-in files for work item tracking, Team Foundation version control, Team Foundation Build, and Lab Management. You must encapsulate the permission element within its corresponding container: the permissions element. You use the following syntax structure for the functional permission element:

<permission allow="PermissionName" identity="GroupName"/>  
<permission deny="PermissionName" identity="GroupName"/>  
<permission allow="PermissionName" deny="PermissionName" identity="GroupName"/>  

The following example shows how to grant permissions to allow the Contributors group to view builds and build definitions and to queue builds and edit build quality.

<taskXml>  
   <permission allow="Read, PendChange, Checkin, Label, Lock" identity="[$$PROJECTNAME$$]\Contributors"/>  
</taskXml>  

Note

During runtime, if a permission can't be found for an identity, the permission is searched for in any other groups to which the identity belongs. If the permission cannot be found, the permission is denied by default.

Assign permissions for work item queries

In the workitems plug-in file, you can assign permissions that control access to team query folders. Query folder permissions are specific to queries and query folders. You can grant access to users and groups in Windows or to default TFS groups.

You assign these permissions by using the functional permission element, as the following example shows:

<Permission allow="Read, Contribute, Delete, ManagePermissions, FullControl" identity="="[$$PROJECTNAME$$]\$$PROJECTADMINGROUP$$" />   

Note

After the project is created, you can set permissions by right-clicking a query folder or query. For details, see Set permissions on queries.

Assign TFVC permissions

You can assign permissions that control access to source code files and folders by changing the plug-in file for version control. Version control permissions are specific to source code files and folders. You can grant access to users and groups in Windows or TFS default groups.

You assign these permissions by using the functional permission element, as the following example shows:

<permission allow="Read, PendChange, Checkin, Label, Lock, Merge" identity="[$$PROJECTNAME$$]\@@Contributors@@" />  

Assign Build permissions

You can assign permissions that control access to build activities by changing the Build plug-in file. You can grant access to users and groups in Windows and groups in Team Foundation Server. For information about the format to use when you specify groups, see Group macros and default groups.

You assign these permissions by using the functional permission element, as the following example shows:

<Permission allow="ViewBuildDefinition, QueueBuilds, ViewBuilds, EditBuildQuality" identity="[$$PROJECTNAME$$]\@@Contributors@@" />  

Note

The Override check-in validation by build permission should be assigned only to service accounts for build services and to build administrators who are responsible for the quality of the code. For more information, see Perform a gated check-in.

Assign Lab Management permissions

You can control access to activities in Lab Management by changing the Lab plug-in file. Permissions for Lab Management are specific to virtual machines, environments, and other resources. You can grant access to users and groups in Windows and TFS groups. You assign these permissions by using the functional permission element, as the following example shows:

<permission allow="Read, Create, Write, Edit, Start, Stop, ManageSnapshots, Pause" identity="[$$PROJECTNAME$$]\@@Contributors@@" />
