Navigating to a project page of a TFS 2013 collection by Administrator account returns this error:

The modification of TFS administration console is also disabled as is seen in this screenshot:
How can I grant full access to this team project collection?
Administrator accounts do not automatically get TFS Administrator capability and it must be granted explicitly.
You need to speak to your TFS Admin and get them to grant access to your account.
If you are the TFS Admin you need the account that was used to install TFS.

I want to add Device.Read and Device.Command permissions to Graph Explorer. When I open the permissions and add them I'm told I need admin approval, although these specific permissions do not require approval. I want to add these permissions without taking away existing admin approvals. How do I do this?
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?

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.
More details, please refer link from MSDN: Sign up for Visual Studio Team Services: Git & Agile for DevOps, continuous integration, & continuous delivery
Finally, just follow the details steps in this tutorial to add users to a team project.
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.
We started to use MTM 2010 for creating and publishing test cases in TFS 2010. Unfortunately, users are not able to publish test results due to lack of permissions.
I do not want to grant code access to testers. Currently, they have only “View project-level information” permissions. Could you please advise what (minimal) permissions should I grant to testers so they can run test from MTM and publish the results?
You should grant following project level permissions to testers, beside permissions they already have:
“Create test runs”
“Manage test configurations”
“Manage test environments”
“View test runs”
Also, be sure that in Area security for specific projects, testers do have “Manage test plans” permissions, beside permissions you have already assigned to them. If you want to be sure that testers do not have access to code, you can always set Deny permissions for specific files in project.
I want to allow some users to access a team project portal, so I give them read permission in sharepoint manage centre. But, I found that these accounts can access team project portal only on service, when logged in client, they're forbided.
How could I do it?
I found the default account of vs2010 is server\administrator, so I gave the account some permission, then it's ok.
