TFS access denied to only one specific domain user

Question

I created a local group user which I added to TFS Contributor/Valid User groups. Anytime if I needed to add a user as contributor, I would add him/her to the local group and the person has the access to TFS; which is until now. Recently a new person got hired and MIS setup the domain account for him. I added him the same way but for some reason he couldn't connect to TFS. I tried everything that I know of. I even asked MIS to recreate (delete and create again) the user in ADS. But nothing seems to be working. Does anybody know what could be possible problem?

Answer 1

I had the same issue that the a user did not get permission to TFS when adding hem/her to the user group. I resolved it by adding the user directly to TFS. You can use the TFS Administration Tool to add users quickly to TFS, SSRS and Sharepoint: http://tfsadmin.codeplex.com

Answer 2

OK. I solved the problem. It was TFS cache that was causing this problem. Once I cleared it, everything worked fine.

Thanks for trying to help.
