13.8 Administering Team Foundation Users with the TFS Administration Tool

Maintaining users in a Team Foundation Server environment can be a complex task. Three different platforms support TFS activities: Team Foundation Server itself, SharePoint, and SQL Reporting Services. Trying to manage users across all three of those environments can be complicated and time-consuming.

The TFS Administration Tool allows TFS administrators to quickly add and remove users to users from any of these platforms, through one common interface. The tool also allows administrators to view all of the users and their permission sets, change their current permissions, and identify any errors across the three tiers.
