Leave from a repository in Visual Studio Team Services - tfs

I was invited to a project on Visual Studio Team Services (previously Visual Studio Online) and I accepted. But now, I want to leave the project and I can't find the option to do that.
Since I'm not an administrator, I can't just delete the project/account, and the owner is no longer active so he can't remove me. The project is now linked to my account and I just want to leave.

Usually delete users from the owner's Visual Studio Team Services account is the simplest solution in your scenario.
Since the owner is no longer active, you or others in thie project team could try to change the account ower. If no one have enough permission, you may have to contact Team service support.
You must have at least Basic access, not Stakeholder, and Team
Services project collection administrator or account owner
permissions. If no one has these permissions, contact Team Services
Support.

I want to invite the member to team on tfs but getting error 'No identities found'

I am getting error "No identities found" when inserting member to my team. I've verified the email address is correct. Why am I seeing this text? How can i fix this?
why cannot found?
You have to use an Active Directory account for on-premise TFS -- you can't provide a hotmail account.
According to your screenshot, you are working on VSTS, you could double confirm this-- sever url should like https://xxx.visualstudio.com.
And you want to login VSTS with an non Microsoft email, you should pay attention to below:
Sign up for Visual Studio Team Services with a work or school account
Control access to Visual Studio Team Services the same way you do with
Microsoft services like Office 365 and Azure. When you sign up with a
work or school account, your Visual Studio Team Services account is
connected to your organization's directory (tenant) in Azure Active
Directory (Azure AD). You can then use the same username and password
as other Microsoft services, like #fabrikam.com. Azure AD helps you
enforce policies around accessing your team's critical resources and
key assets.

Finally, just follow the details steps in this tutorial to add users to a team project.

Removing yourself from Visual Studio Team Services Accounts

On my visualstudio.com dashboard it says I am a member to a Team Service Account. How can I remove myself? The project is long done and I don't want to see that anymore. I am not the owner and cannot contact him.
This feature is now available in VSTS (now Azure DevOps Services). Login to one of your VSTS Account go to "My Profile". (top right corner) Then you can leave VSTS Accounts where your Account is a member.

No, only account owner or administrator (in Project Collection Administrators group, Admin page > Security > Project Collection Administrators) can add or delete the account.

TFS access rights for revoking some rights to project collection admins

I am using Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).
I have to create some Project Collection Administrators only for administrative purpose.
At the same time, there will be few projects where all the administrators will not have all rights to those projects.
Since rights are inherited, rights cannot be revoked from those administrators and given to some normal users only, few of those users may be project collection administrators also.
Is it possible to achieve this?
Thanks
No, it is impossible, because with project collection administrator’s permission, he can reset the permission what he needs and add himself to any group of the collection or team project.
So, if other administrator grant deny permission for him, he still can reset these permissions to allow.
To conclude, you can’t add them to project collection administrator group, just grant necessary permission for them.

Use non Microsoft account for signing up on TFS

I just signed up on TFS for a free account and now I want to invite a colleage in my company. I want to invite him using his company email instead of his microsoft email account. How can I do that? I tried to add him using his company account but when he gets an email for joining the TFS, the login page only allows to use Microsoft account.
According to your description with a free account(Microsoft Account).I'm wondering if you are using VSTS. TFS on-premises will use the domain account to login in TFS, not Microsoft Account.
If you want to login VSTS with your company account.
