TFS team project administrator not able to run work item query, when tried through the web browser, page shows the error:
TF401349: An unexpected error has occurred, please verify your request and try again
When tried using Visual Studio 2015, the below error:
TF201072: A user or group could not be found. Verify that the users and groups used in your work item type definition have been added to Team Foundation Server.
Event log in the application server shows the below event error:

I am using TFS 2015 update 2.
Note: Same project other users can view normal.
Seems there is something wrong with that user account, although this user is already part of a TFS group, but he still can't access TFS work items. Maybe there is some snag in the TFS identity synch service, and it's usually related to a specific collection.
Attaching and re-attaching the collection will force a refresh of the identity synch data, and will usually resolve this kind issue.
If above is sitll not work.There are also many other articles on the web which help determine the root cause:
You can check whether built-in records were missing in table
TFSIntegration..tblsubscription. Refer to the link below for more
details: A case study on TFS identity replication
Another option is check if the SID of service account is correct.
Replace SID if not, you can refer to this thread for the steps.

I am using TFS 2013, Update 5.
I am unable to see the 'Access Levels' tab in the admin section.
Verified also that the account has Console Permissions.
Added the account in [TEAM FOUNDATION]\Team Foundation Administrators group in TFS Admin Console.
While sending request from my site. I am getting
Request URL: `http://<account_name>:8080/tfs/_admin/_licenses`<br>
Request Method: GET<br> Status Code: 404 Not Found<br> X-TFS-ServiceError:
Page+not+found.
The tab just simply isn't there.
And also I am unable to see the TEST tab in the projects.
Tried the solution: Access levels configuration tab not visible in TFS 2015
I have cleared the TFS_cache and restarted the server. Even after that, I am unable to view the tab though I have added myself to Team Foundation Administrators Group. Because of this access I am unable to view the Test tab in the project collection home page, Access tab in control section and Adding / Modifing charts under work item.
Kindly help me to fix the issue.
Just check the access level or your account, make sure you are not in the Stakeholder level. Just change the access level to Basic or Advanced Level if the user was in Stakeholder level.
If you change the default access level to Stakeholder, all users not
explicitly added to the Basic or Advanced level will be limited to the
features provided through Stakeholder access.
Then try the solution mentioned in this thread: Access levels configuration tab not visible in TFS 2015
Besides, based on the error message "Status Code: 404 Not Found", generally it should an client-side issue. SO, just try below things to narrow down the issue:
Using IP instead of the server name in URL, e.g :
http://192.168.1.10:8080/tfs/_admin/_licenses
Try with other client machines or browsers
Cleaning the caches on your current client machine
Check if that works for you.
Cause of HTTP 404 Errors:
Technically, an Error 404 is a client-side error, implying that the
error is your mistake, either because you typed the URL incorrectly or
the page has been moved or removed from the website and you should
have known.
Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource but
did so without redirecting the old URL to the new one. When that
happens, you'll receive a 404 error instead of being automatically
routed to the new page.
If that still not work, then try to repair the TFS server, then try it again.
Even after multiple ways in the admin level if you are unable to see tab, Navigate to TFS console-->Application Tier-->Administration Security. Under users and Groups section select [Team Foundation]\Team Foundation Valid Users and set the permission of Edit Instance-level information to Allow. This way it has solved my problem.
I'm getting a server error when I try to delete build definitions from a project on the Team Foundation Server 2015 web interface.
The error message that pops up is:

I also get a similar error when I try to save changes to a build definition.
I'm doing everything with an administrator account on the server.
It's acting like the user has INSERT permission in the database but not DELETE or UPDATE, but I'm not sure if this is the cause and the permissions in the database seem OK (why would they be configured incorrectly after a fresh install?).
I'm using a local SQL Server Express instance. I'm using Windows Authentication for TFS, and I'm able to login with Windows Authentication and manually delete them from the database using SQL Server Management Studio.
I just did another uninstall/fresh install and I'm still seeing this error. Any insight into the cause or solution would be much appreciated.
UPDATE
A SQL Server trace isn't showing any relevant commands being received when I attempt the delete/edit, so it seems like the error is happening before it even reaches out to the database.
First, please make sure you have enough permission. Such as edit build definition . You can use tf permission command to list the realted permission info.
For example: tf permission /user:userID /collection:http://xxx:8080/tfs/defaultcollection
which will return the modified permission for that user under the collection path. Also work with server path.
Also add your user in Team Project Administrator Group and Build Administrator Group.
Try to clean browser cache and close the browser then try it again.
I'm having trouble with the permissions associated with creating new Team Projects in TFS 2015 from Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Everyone in our team is a member of a common AD group, which through a series of group memberships (see below) ended up in the Project Collection Administrators group of our main collection. This means that everyone in the team can see everything, do pretty much everything, and isn't ideal so I made a couple of changes and everything appears to be working correctly except creating new projects.
Whenever anyone other than me tries to create a new project the wizard kicks off and then fails shortly after with the following message:
TFS error

I'm running Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 2, and it works fine on my laptop with the Agile template. I've logged in with another user account on the exact same laptop, tried the Agile and Scrum templates and both have failed in the exact same place. Another user has tried separately with Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 1 and they have encountered the same error. This particular user has been able to created team projects before.
Because it was working before I changed the permissions, and because it's still working for me, I don't think there's an issue with the project template or TFS itself, so I'm leaning towards it being a permissions issue and I just haven't given the other users the right permission/membership to the right group to allow them to create the template correctly. I always have the fallback of putting the permissions back as they were before I started editing them, but it would be great if I could actually resolve this issue so I don't essentially have everyone in the team as collection admins.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Edit: I've been altering various permissions today to see if I can resolve this myself, and as a test I simply undid the permission changes detailed below, and it works fine - as such I'm pretty certain it's permissions, but which ones I have no idea.
Permissions before:
Everyone is a member of our AD group
Our AD group is a member of the server's local admin AD group
The local admin AD group is a member of [BUILTIN]\Administrators
[BUILTIN]\Administrators is a member of [TEAM FOUNDATION]\Team Foundation Administrators
[TEAM FOUNDATION]\Team Foundation Administrators is a member of [Our Collection]\Project Collection Administrators
Changes made:
I removed [TEAM FOUNDATION]\Team Foundation Administrators from [Our Collection]\Project Collection Administrators, leaving just me and another user directly in [Our Collection]\Project Collection Administrators.
I then set the Create New Projects permission to Allow on our AD group - without this users other than me can't even start the wizard
Clean the Cache folder on client computer. The folder path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache.
Clean the Cache folder on Server machine. The folder path is:
C:\TfsData\ApplicationTier_fileCache
After cleaned, on Server machine, click Start and select Run… to open the dialog box, then input iisreset.exe and click OK, wait it run completely.
Check Event log in Event Viewer to see whether there is useful information.
Consider the scenario of a user creating a new Team Project. The user is a developer who wants to create and manage their Team Project.
Why can't this user create a new Team Project, including the Reporting Services components?
What can be done to resolve this error?
The exception is
TF218027: the following reporting folder could not be created on the server running SQL Reporting Services.
SQL Reporting services is running under an Active Directory service account created expressly for this purpose.
The developer attempting this action is a member of a TFS group with the following permissions.
The workaround way that I implemented was to ensure the developer was in a group that had 'Content Manager' permissions in the SQL Reporting Services.
I simply added the appropriate AD group in the textbox, and the operation worked perfectly.
First I visited the SSRS page at http://myServer/TFS/Reports/MyCollection
Enter the "New Role Assignment" screen.
I actually blogged about this not too long ago. You usually see this error if Reporting Services gets set up with something other than the NETWORK SERVICE account.
FTA:
I was playing around with my test
instance of Team Foundation Server
today, trying to create a new project,
when I got error TF218027 when it
tried to create the Reporting Services
folder for the project. The strange
thing was, this was not my first
project created on this server.
I searched the Internet for anything
similar, and found a post that said
Reporting Services should be run with
the NETWORK SERVICE account. Since
this was a hastily put together
server, I was running it with the
Administrator account, so I tried
switching it over.
No dice. I got the same TF218027
error, but this time it was due to it
not being able to decrypt the
symmetric keys. Apparently, it's a
bad thing to change the account on the
Reporting Services service.
I hastily changed the account back to
Administrator and resarted the
service. Interestingly enough, this
seems to have fixed the problem.
I just run throught the same issue. I granted the user rights in SharePoint, TFS, and Report Server. And still I was getting the same error message. Then I realized something. I added that user to the Report Server's local administrator's group. It worked! Hopefully this help you out.
We're switching over to Team Foundation for our version control, and I have to learn it and set it up. Our IT guy did the installation of the both the data tier and the app tier, and he is of course convinced that it's right. However when i log in as tfssetup and try to create a new project, i get the error:
Error
Insufficient permissions to create a new SQL Server Reporting Services at tsttfsapp1.
Explanation
The permissions granted your user name and ID on the SQL Server Reporting Services at tsttfsapp1 do not allow you create a new project. You must be granted specific permission by the server administrator.
User Action
Contact the Administrator for the SQL Server Reporting Services at tsttfsapp1 and ask that the permission "Content Manager" be added to your user account
So i tried to log in to http://servername/Reports_TFS it asks for the credentials but doesn't accept them. Even stranger when i try to access it from a computer and user that aren't on the same domain as the app tier server, it doesn't ask for credentials and lets me right in. As far as i know the default name of the site should be Reports, not Reports_TFS is it possible that his renaming of that could be causing the problem?
tfssetup is definitely a "Content Manager" as far as i can tell, so i don't understand why we are getting this problem. Also any recommendation for good websites or books that can take a complete beginner and help me become an expert in 3 weeks (what's left of the 6 week time frame allowed for me to learn) would be appreciated.
Thanks
I'm not sure this will help, but we had this error at my place of work on our 2005 TFS server. We opened a ticket with Microsoft and sent them our TFS database. They were able to replicate the issue with the copy of the database. Somehow the TFS database had gotten into an invalid state, but they weren't able to determine how this happened or how to fix it. Unfortunately, this error kept us from being able to upgrade the server to TFS 2008 too. We ended up getting latest of all the code and adding it to source control on a new install of TFS. What a pain.
OK so it turns out it was only a problem because I was using a 2005 client with a 2008 server. A 2008 client has no problem creating a project on the 2008 server, but the 2005 client is not able to create a project on a 2008 server.
