I am setting up a Project on Visual Studio Team Services.
On overview page, It has a project logo at the top left, it's seem create by a short name of full project name. I want to change this icon to own logo, but I has found no way to change it. Would you please help me let me know can we change this icon, if yes, how can I do this?
It looks like this functionality was removed as part the new navigation.
You can vote to have the feature added back here:

The best answer I found for Azure DevOps Server was to update the default team icon and perform a force-refresh (CTRL+F5). It appears a similar capability is on Azure DevOps Services.

This functionality is rolling out with the current deployment on VSTS. See the section "Custom Project image on Project description page" in our release notes at Streamlined code and work items search – VSTS Sprint 124 Update:
VSTS has allowed you to upload a custom image for your Project (and
default team) for some time. However, this image was only visible on
the settings page. With this update, you will see the customized image
on the description page, which helps to give a unique identity to a
Project. If not customized, you will see an auto-generated image based
on the Project's name.
Take your project link (ex: https://xxx.visualstudio.com/RobocopProject) and append a /_settings to it, on the resulting page the icon will be clickable and editable.

I want to change authentication of an existing project but I can't change it. Because, I couldn't find the "Change Authentication" button which exists during new project setup. Please tell me, how can I change authentication of existing project?
I think you cannot change that via a push off a button.
Perhaps compare two sample projects with the existing and desired authentication?!?
I have a problem with TFS
when I connect to a team project and configure workspace and click on Map & Get button, it shows "successfully mapped" message but there is no solution in Solutions panel, there is just a text "there were no solution found"
And when I try to get latest version or get specific version in source control explorer,it shows a message that says "all files are up to date, no file were updated because the requested file versions were previously downloaded" but there is no solution and project in mapped folder
I don't have this problem with other team projects
Does somebody know what's the reason?and what can I do to solve it?
Thanks
Edit
when I click on "map & get" for the first time,as usual a dialog box with title "calculating items to download" appears and then another dialog box with title "get", but in the second dialog box the green progress bar doesn't fill and then the message "workspace successfully mapped" appears in team explorer home and as I said before, there is no solution
To narrow down your issue, you can try below methods:
Make sure your local mapping folder is on a hard disk with enough
space.
Try to Removing the mapping of the project(Right Click your
project→Advanced→Remove mapping) and remap to another folder.
Clear TFS cache and VS cache
According to your above message
In source control explorer under "server-name/DefaultCollection" node
there is nothing
I was wondering whether there is a solution with the project in TFS.
Try to map the project on another computer with another account.
Try to make sure you have enough permissions to get the project.
Check whether you select the right project collection which including
the project.
Check whether your solution and files are in the excluded list of
pending changes.
Probably you deleted the files after you did a Get Latest Version operation.
Try to use the Get Specific Version then check the "Overwrite all files even if the local version matches the specified version".
I finally find the problem. It was related to my access level in team project.
I was the 7th member of the team and because in this free version a team can only have 5 basic and advanced members, automatically my access level was changed to stackholder and as you know a stackholder access level has some limitations.
We have moved from A single collection with many team projects, to a single collection, with one team project, and just many source control folders (One for each project).
For each project we are going to use areas/teams to split things down logically.
However, we expect The Business who aren't TFS users will log bugs and such, via the correct team.
I have assigned default areas for the correct teams, and at some point in the move, we were able to view a team via web access, create a new Work Item, and it would use the correct Area.
For whatever reason this has now stopped - is there something I need to set to make sure it uses the correct/default area for the team?
You can configure the default area for each team in the Control Panel in the Web Access of your Team Foundation Server.
You should go to:
Control panel --> <your collection name> --> <your project name> --> <team name>
In the Areas tab you will see the hierarchy of the root project with all the teams beneath it. Make sure that the correct team is selected as the default area.
You can find the documentation here at MSDN: Add and modify area and iteration paths
I finally got this working by making sure the Team Name had no spaces This was the key and area have no spaces
Before one of our teams was Web Reports with an area Web Reports, nothing worked.
Changing the Team and Area to WebReports, and also marked the WebReports area as the default team for that area, and things started working.
When I go to the Overview tab of any project I get five options:
Summary, Issues, Reports, Popular Issues, Labels.
I can create Versions via the Admin tab.
However if I look at an Atlassian project I can see a 'Versions' button on the Summary page.
Tried to include a URL to it but SO will not let me.
This 'Versions' button gives a very handy report of the Versions & a version can be selected to give a detailed report of that Version.
How can I add this to my summary ?
If I add the URL params I get nothing as in
my_server:8080/browse/MY_PROJECT?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversions-panel
We have v6.1.2
Sadly I have just found at that this is only possible for SCRUM style Jira projects. I found this page 'Viewing the Version report' which says it only works for SCRUM projects
Why JIRA Why ?
Why on earth would I not want to be able to list the issues in such a convenient way. Instead I have to create a unique filter for each version.
The project reports such as Summary are not customizable. The Versions tab only appears after you create your first version, which is not always obvious.
I am trying to figure out how to modify the work items permissions on a specific TFS project to inaccessible?
I want to make the work items 'invisible' to all users.
The MSDN documentation is a little unclear (at least for a newbie):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252587.aspx
it mentions TFSSecurity could be used from command line and I think i need to deny WORK_ITEM_READ for that project - could someone provide the syntax for that?
Thanks!!!
You can do it with TFSSecurity. But unless you enjoy command line pain, just use Team Explorer (via Visual Studio).
Right click on a project in Team Explorer and select "Team Project Settings" then select "Areas and Iterations".
In the resulting dialog make sure that the root Area (called "Area") is selected then select the "Security" button in the bottom of the dialog box (next to close).
That will launch the security options for the work items under that Area. From there you can uncheck "View work items in this node" for everyone in the list.
However you will be unable to remove Collection admin's rights to view the work items. You may be able to do that via TFSSecurity.exe but it would be abnormal to do so.
