How to: Connect to Team Foundation Server

All team projects are stored and managed on a Team Foundation Server. To start working on a team project, you must first connect to the appropriate Team Foundation Server. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator or your team project administrator to make sure that your user account has required permissions described below.

Note

If you installed Development Edition, Architecture Edition, or Test Edition, you must also install Team Explorer before you can connect to Team Foundation Server. For more information, see the Team Foundation Installation Guide.

Required Permissions

To connect to a Team Foundation Server you must be a member of the Team Foundation Valid Users security group. If the necessary security permissions are set explicitly, you must have the View server-level information permission set to Allow.

For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

To connect to a Team Foundation Server

  1. On the Tools menu, click Connect to Team Foundation Server.

  2. In the Connect to Team Foundation Server dialog box, select a Team Foundation Server from the drop-down list.
