TFS 2010 - Portal settings - tfs

It doesn't appear that you can modify the base url for the portal settings in TFS 2010. I currently have
http://tfsserver.mydomain.com
I would like the system to launch
http://tfsserver
instead when a user selects 'Show project portal' from Team Explorer.
Is it possible to change the site root that it points to? We keep getting security prompts with fqdn.

I found the answer myself. On the application tier, open the admin console, select SharePoint Web Applications and change the base url there.

Visual Studio 2019 Azure App not getting published

I'm facing issues in deploying my ASP.NET MVC in Azure from VS 2019. While publishing from local repository, I don't see any form coming up for filling the details about the project. Instead prompts me to login again.
Creating the Azure App service and creating the profile button next
I've already logged in but there is no information to the publishing platform specified.

If you do not have any Azure subscriptions, you can not create App Service and publish your project to Azure.
In Visual Studio Server Explorer (as below) or Azure portal, you can find information about your subscriptions.
Besides, if you'd like to add subscription for your billing account , you can refer to this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-subscription#create-a-subscription-in-the-azure-portal

How to connect Visual Studio 2019 to TFS server

I have TFS 2018. I'm trying to connect visual studio 2019. I can already use tfs via web browser. I can log in and everything is fine. But when I try to connect through vs, I can't get authorized. I get
Server 'https://Myserver:8080/tfs' was not added. TF30063. You are not authorized to access https://myserver:8080/tfs
I researched the error code and tried all the fixes including deleting the windows credentials, running vs as admin and others. Like I said, I can log in via my web browser with no problem.
When I try to connect to project, It has my Microsoft account. I enter the above url and I'm prompted for my windows login (same for the browser) and I keep getting the error. I thought maybe I add the account before connecting, but when I try to add an account, the only popup wants me to use a Microsoft account or GitHub account. I can't add my Windows account.
So how do I connect my visual studio to my tfs server?
Thank you.
You should not get a Microsoft Account Prompt if you are trying to connect locally. The prompt is to validate your instance of VS towards your MSDN subscription. You would need to "login" with you Microsoft or Azure AD user that can validate your VS license and to be able to synchronize your settings from one VS to another. This login is the one here
Notice the account settings there, if you click on this you can also add your Visual Studio 2019 Static Key and then you don't need to login every month unless you want to sync your settings.
Bottom line, when connecting to TFS 2018 it will not ask you for Microsoft Credentials.
Please check whether you use the correct URL, and use http instead of https. Also, try the following items:
Close all Visual Studio instances, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%.IdentityService.
Clear TFS caches %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\x.0\Cache

Jira: Assign permission based on Groups

I have 14 people in 5 teams. Some are overlapping. i.e A couple of Web team members are part of the Server team.
I am not sure if this is the right way, but I would like to manage each team with their own Jira project.
Thus, I have 5 projects:
Mobile
Design
Web
Server
Hardware
I would like to assign access to projects based on Group. i.e. Mobile project should only be accessed by a Group name Mobile Developers. Design project should only be accessed by the Design Team Group. Design should NOT have access to the Mobile project.
How do I accomplish this on Jira Cloud?
Currently I have two Permission Scheme:
Default software scheme shows all 5 of my projects. I can only edit the Name and Description. When I click on Permissions it takes me to a screen that says:
How can I assign permission to each individual project based on Group?
Clone your default permission scheme and create a custom permission scheme for each project.
For example:
Mobile Project Permission Scheme
Next, assign the new permission schemes to the projects. So the Mobile project uses the Mobile Project Permission Scheme, the Web project uses the Web Project Permission Scheme, etc.
At this stage, there is no new behaviour as all the projects are using the same permission scheme, just they now have their own copies of the scheme. That means any changes you make to a custom permission scheme will only impact on one project.
Now, edit the permission schemes and give permissions based on the groups.
e.g.
Manage Sprints - Mobile_User_Group

Cannot add a visualstudio.com Team Explorer Server in Xamarin Studio

Having trouble adding a Team Explorer server (visualstudio.com) in Xamarin Studio. I enter my credentials (Microsoft account) but nothing happens, and the server is not added in the list of servers. I am using this addin
It seems that you need to enable alternate credentials to be able to log into the server as per this post. See the "Basic auth" section.

What is the difference between assigning permissions via Admin console versus the web portal?

We are using TFS 2013.
We can assign users to the project by going to the web portal dashboard of the project, and click on Manage and add members to team.
Other way is to click on the gear icon on top right and manage users from there.
Another way is to open the TFS admin console and assign permissions from there.
I would like to know the differences between these 3 approaches. Thanks.
