TFS Edit project-level information permission

Question

I'm looking for what specifically the "Edit project-level information" permission allows you to do. So far I've noticed that by default you need this to add/delete areas & iterations, manage check-in policies, create team work item queries. What else am I forgetting?

Answer 1

This permission is also known as "GENERIC_WRITE" if that helps when searching MSDN. Be careful, though: "Edit server-level permissions" has the same underlying name, but is applied to different objects.

Anyway, you listed:

• Areas & iterations
• Checkin policies
• Team-wide work item queries

The other rights this permission controls include:

• Subscriptions (email or SOAP) on project-level events
• Alter project-level permission ACLs (including GENERIC_WRITE itself)
