If you have been looking for a way to control access around Kanban board customization – unfortunately there wasn't anything in TFS 2012. Any team member could change the columns.
However, TFS 2013 comes with a new TFS group "Team Administrator".
With TFS 2013 RC or TFS Service, if you are a contributor and try to customize Kanban columns, you will see below message
Ask your administrator to provide you membership in "Team Administrator" group
Here are simple 4 steps for your admin
- Navigate to your Team's admin page
- Click on "Add" under "Administrators"
- Search the user
- Save changes
This will enable the "Team Administrator" to be self-sufficient with additional capabilities to all team-related activities such as add another team administrator, manage team room permissions, manage team members and manage team favorites.
