After you create a team project, you must configure settings such as groups, permissions, areas and iterations, build configurations, and source control. You can modify team project settings by using the Team menu or Team Explorer.
In this walkthrough, you create a new group of users and add a user to that group.
To add a new group and user
In Team Explorer, click the team project node.
On the Team menu, point to Team Project Settings, and then click Group Membership.
In the Project Groups on AdventureWorks Version 2.0 dialog box, click New.
In the Create New Team Foundation Server Group dialog box, under Group name, type Developers, and then click OK.
The Developers group appears in the Groups list.

Repeat step 4 to create additional groups.

In the Groups list, click Developers, and then click Properties.
In the Team Foundation Server Group Properties dialog box, click the Members tab.
Select Windows User or Group and then click Add.
In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, type a user name, and then click OK.
| Note: |

If the name that you typed does not resolve unambiguously, the system displays the
Multiple Name Found dialog box. If this occurs, under Matching names, click the name that you want, and then click OK. Then, in the Select Users or Groups dialog box, click OK.

In the Team Foundation Server Group Properties dialog box, click OK.
In the Project Groups on AdventureWorks Version 2.0 dialog box, click Close.
On the Team menu, point to Team Project Settings, and then click Security.
On the Project Security dialog box, select Team Foundation Server Group, and then click Add.
In the Add Group dialog box, click <project name>\Developers, and then click OK.
Team Foundation Server adds the Developers group to the team project.
In Permissions, select the Allow check box for View project-level information.
Click Close.
You use the same team project structure for version 2.0 of the product as was used for the original team project. There is a Kiosk team that handles the work of creating software for in-store kiosks that customers can use to order or receive products. There is also a Web team working on an Internet Web site. By modifying the project structure to match the organization, you can map work items to the teams that are working on them. You can then use the categories to classify, query, and report on work items. The process template does not automatically create the areas, nor does it automatically copy the areas from the old team project. Instead, you must enter the areas manually.
To modify the team project structure
In Team Explorer, click the AdventureWorks Version 2.0 team project.
On the Team menu, point to Team Project Settings, and then click Areas and Iterations.
In the Areas and Iterations dialog box, be sure the Area tab is selected.
Click Add a child node on the toolbar.
Right-click the new node, click Rename, and then in the box type Kiosk.
Click the Area node.
Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 to create an additional area named Web.
Next, modify the team project to specify the iterations that are planned. In this walkthrough scenario, you use the same three milestones as in the original team project. Each of these milestone marks the end of iteration: M1 Prototype, M2 Beta, and M3 Release.
To modify the team project iterations
In the Areas and Iterations dialog box, click the Iteration tab.
| Note: |
|---|
The MSF for Agile Software development template includes three predefined iterations. For this procedure, you can delete those iterations, rename them instead of creating new ones, or just leave them unchanged.
|
Click Add a child node on the toolbar.
Right-click the new node, click Rename, and then in the box type M1 Prototype.
Click the Iteration node.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 to create two additional items named M2 Beta, and M3 Release.
Click Close.
