We recently moved our on-premise TFS server to a new server and we are able to access our projects on the new server.
However, I am unable to see the option to add a new project, only to browse to existing projects:
I have checked my permissions and my permissions include:
Team Foundation Administrator
Project Collection Administrator
This should give me enough rights to add a new project. I'm sure I am missing something, but I cannot see what it is.
In Visual Studio Team Services (formerly Visual Studio Online) you can create your projects from the web interface.
But in TFS you need to fire up a matching version of Visual Studio (in your case 2013), and create new projects from the Team Explorer window.
From Team Foundation Server 2015 update 2 onwards you'll be able to create team projects using the web interface. With all older versions of TFS you need to follow these steps.

Firstly,I was used TFS(Team Foundation Server) and Visual Studio 2015 in my previous project.In this project,My leader setup the TFS and I just used it and it is very nice to use.
Now i am developing new project with Visual Studio 2017 and I want to use TFS.I was googled but not clear for me.So Please Let me known,where can i see clear step by step setup guide of TFS with Visual Studio 2017.
Visual Studio includes all the client pieces for TFS in the default install.
So all you need to do is go to the Team menu to connect to the TFS server. The URL will depend on the configuration of the server: get this from the Admin. (For VSTS it will be your-account.visualstudio.com.)
There is a new user's guide which should help with the details.
So you want to add the new solution which is created in VS 2017 into TFS. Please follow the steps below:
Connect to your team project in VS 2017.
Add your solution to source control. Refer to Add a existing app.
Check your new project into TFS.
Hi you just go to the team Explorer and using the admin rights link add the TFS that u want to use.
And from source control you can get the files of the project.
Hope this will work #Jze
I installed TFS on my machine but I am not able to create projects because of the mentioned message
Not all collection level administration is exposed in the web experience. For all administration operations at the collection level please use the Administration Console on your Team Foundation Server.
I have given full permissions to all the available groups and users but still not getting the option to create projects so can some one help me
You're running TFS 2015 RTM. Creating team projects via the web was only an option added in TFS 2015 Update 2.
Unless you upgrade to TFS 2015 Update 2 or later, you'll have to use Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 to create new team projects.
We have upgraded TFS2008 to 2013 on a new server and source control/workitem tracking is okay - we can use all that from within VS2013 Pro.
We have also upgraded Sharepoint (containing all the project documentation) to a new database server and using the TFS 2013 Adminisration Console we can see the Team Projects listed there.
However although from the VS2013 Team Exlorer we can add the team projects and open the 'web portal' for each team project, we cannot see any of the documents nor can we (seemingly) view in a browser the portal that in VS2008 shows the document libraries.
Are we missing something in the unfamiliar interface, or can anyone advise what the cause might be and how to fix it?
You need to "wire up" the Team Projects to the Sharepoint sites. It sounds like they have been detached through the order of the upgrade.
Sharepoint needs to be upgraded and available during the upgrade process or this happens
You can however easily wire them back up. In the Team Project in Visual Studio go to the Team Explorer and do "Settings|Portal".
You should have a dialog for wiring up The existing Sharepoint to the Team Project.
If you don't you may have Tbeen disconnected at the collection level. In which case you can open the TFS Administration Console and follow: http://nakedalm.com/integrate-sharepoint-2013-with-team-foundation-server-2013/
I would like to know if there is a possibility to create a team project in TFS2013 in the Web Interface without using Visual Studio. I would like to use TFS as general git repository platform. Visual Studio Online has such a possibility, but the menu does not exist in Team Web Access of the TFS.
Any ideas?
This option is not yet available in on-premise Team Foundation Server. Currently, its not possible to create a team project from web interface in on-premise instances.
I have a tfs server installed, and it allow me to connect, but when try to create a team project, it shows this message.
TF30172: You do not have permission to create a new team project.
All my permission are currently set, or at at least I think so.
What else can I check?
This is a know issue with Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2012.
From Buck Hodges' blog:
You must use the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2012 (included in all Visual Studio editions or may be separately downloaded) to create a team project on a TFS 2012 server. If you use VS 2010, you will get an error about not having permission. The error message is very misleading, because it’s not a problem with your permissions.
You should to install this hotfix to resolve this issue.
You Should have the right in Team Project Collection administrator . you have to add yourself in this group.
and after that may be it is also required to add yourself in Contributor group.
kindly check that you have give the rights in Team Project Collection Setting .
not in Team Project Setting.
Having tried a plethora of solutions including many reinstalls, service pack reapplication, hotfixes and the two answers provided by Mak and DaveShaw.
The workaround I used was to create the new team project using Visual Studio 2013. Once I did that I was able to add my solutions to source control. I guess VS 2012 could be used too.
