I'm trying to download my project from Visual Studio Online (TFS), but I can't see one project in list. I have two accounts, main and secondary. I'm trying to get project using secondary account. Both users have Administrator permission on this project. Also, other projects, that I see in list, have same permissions with this account. I see this project on web-site (my_organization.visualstudio.com), but it is not in Visual Studio, in Source Control Explorer. Need some help - is there any bug, or I'm doing something wrong..? Thanks
Stackoverflow is mainly handling issues’ open forum while your current question is organization identity/account issue targeting to Azure DevOps, which need assistance of the product group. Thus the best contact channel is here: https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/report?entry=problem&space=21, the product support engineer will then contact the product group and offer efficient assistance. Thanks for your understanding.
BTW, you could refer to this doc: Set repository permissions for Git or TFVC to check your account's repository permissions in this project.

We are managing a large group of developers that are developing a variety kinds of projects that use Team Foundation Server , We need to restrict some of the developers permissions and just give them to admins .
In the first place, Add solution to source control should be claimed from developers and it should be available for administrators , they should just be able to have check in and check out permission.
I red following document from Microsoft but couldn't how to set such a permission.
Manage Tfs Project
Update:
What we want to do : developers should fill an application and describe about their new projects they want to be added to source controller and then we make a blank solution and add it to source control, Now developers can add their projects to blank solution and check in their changes.
Hope someone could help me here or refer me to a useful document
I appreciate your attention.
developers can add their projects to blank solution and check in their changes and administrators can click the button Add solution to source control to add the solution, right?
If we want to add the solution to TFS Repos, the steps are: Add your solution to version control->Add a comment and check in the solution, then we could see the solution in TFS
The button Add solution to source control just add the project to mapping folder instead of TFS repo, we could not configure the TFS permission to restrict adding solution to source control.
If we need to restrict check-in permission, we could set the repo or repo folder permission. Check the pic below.
I am using TFS 2018 update2, I have been given Project collection administrator level access for a project collection. But when I connect using VS2017 and create a Team project, I am getting TF218027 error. Please, let me know what the solution for this is.
The error message is very clearly, your account need to gain appropriate permission.
You need to set permissions on SQL Server Reporting separately from TFS itself.
TFS, Reporting Services and SharePoint all have independent permissions. The group "Project Collection Administrators" is internal to TFS and thus only gives access to the TFS functions, not the functions it uses on other servers.
The recommended approach is to create groups in AD (eg. "TFS Collection X Admins") in AD; and then use that group to give permissions in each of TFS, SharePoint and Reporting Services.
You could add a 'Content Manager' permissions, detail steps, please take a look at this thread: Error TF218027 when creating a Team Project in TFS 2010
Another way just as jessehouwing suggested in comment, you do not have to create with Report set, if your team actually no need the report feature, you could also disable the report settings, how to check the report configuration, please take a look at this link.
I have installed and configured TFS on my server, also I have created a project TEST in TFS. I want to ask how to add code to TFS server and then map it with code in mu local pc.
Any help?
The following should get you started:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181384.aspx
High level overview
Open visual studio
Connect to team collection/team project
Map the team project to a folder on your local pc
Get all the files if any from tfs
Add any files from your local workspace to TFS.
Before you change permission levels for others, make sure that you have the right level of permissions.
Open the administrative context for your team project.
In the Security tab, under users, find your own name, and look at what groups you belong to and what permissions you have
If you aren't a project administrator, you need to be. Find someone who is, and have them add you.
Add user to a team project or a team, etc.
For detailed information you can refer to article below:

I use Visual Studio Team Services (visualstudio.com) for all of my source control. I would like to make a couple of my projects open source and grant public access to download the source. Does anyone know if there is a way to configure a Visual Studio Team Services project to facilitate this? Specifically, I would need a way to grant read access to everyone, but keep write access restricted.
At the time of writing, this is not possible, but I created a UserVoice request for it. So if you want it, go and vote for it.

I don't believe you can grant access to "everyone". I don't believe there is a concept of "everyone" in the hosted system.
As discerns says, this is not possible right now. CodePlex would be the thing to use for Open Source projects based on TFS.
I have added users to Contributor Group in Team Project, but they are not able access the Team Project Portal. What could be the problem?
You have to manage permissions to TFS, Sharepoint and Reporting Services separately. This means that adding people to TFS groups does not automatically add them to Sharepoint and reporting services groups.
Please check below MSDN library for information on how to add users to Share Point Portal:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb558971.aspx
You can also use TFS Administration tool, which provides the options to add users to TFS, Sharepoint and Reporting Services from single place.
