TFS - Add work item to specific project - tfs

Question

I'm relatively new to developing with tfs (only used git before).
I'm connecting to a server, which contains a decent amount of projects.
When I create a new work item, I can select only the server below 'classification' and not the specific project.
How can I allocate a work item directly to a project instead of the server?
Thanks!

You could directly create work item under the specific team project. The simplest and effective way is through web portal.
Project--Work--New Work Item--Work Item Type
After this the a work item directly allocated to this project instead of the server.
In work item, several features depend on the team project or team that
you have selected. For example, dashboards, backlogs, and board views
will change depending on the context selected.
When you add a work item, the system references the default area and
iteration paths defined for the team context. Work items you add
from the team dashboard (new work item widget) and queries page are
assigned the team default iteration. Work items you add from a team
backlog or board, are assigned the team default backlog iteration.
You navigate to your team context from the top navigation bar.
If you are new to tfs work item, suggest you take a look at related tutorial in MSDN: Plan and track your project with work items. Besides in TFS, there is a concept of permission, also make sure your account have enough permission for the project and adding work item.
