Manage extension permissions

TFS 2018

Learn how to manage permissions for users or groups, so they can manage extensions.

Prerequisites

  • You must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group or have "Edit collection-level information" permissions to manage permissions for users or groups. Organization owners are automatically members of the Project Collection Administrators group.

Manage permissions

To grant permissions for publishing or updating to users or groups, use the TFSSecurity command-line tool.

  1. At the server level, create a group, for example, "TFS Extension Publishers".

    tfssecurity /gcg "TFS Extension Publishers" "publishers who can manage extensions for the server" /server:ServerURL

  2. Grant access to the "TFS Extension Publishers" group to manage extensions.

    tfssecurity /a+ Publisher "//" CreatePublisher n:"[TEAM FOUNDATION]\TFS Extension Publishers" allow /server:ServerURL
tfssecurity /a+ Publisher "//" PublishExtension n:"[TEAM FOUNDATION]\TFS Extension Publishers" allow /server:ServerURL
tfssecurity /a+ Publisher "//" UpdateExtension n:"[TEAM FOUNDATION]\TFS Extension Publishers" allow /server:ServerURL
tfssecurity /a+ Publisher "//" DeleteExtension n:"[TEAM FOUNDATION]\TFS Extension Publishers" allow /server:ServerURL

  1. Add existing users and groups to the "TFS Extension Publishers" group.

    tfssecurity /g+ "[TEAM FOUNDATION]\TFS Extension Publishers" n:User /server:ServerURL

You can add users later to "TFS Extension Publishers". This permission is a server-level permission. When you update or delete an extension, it affects all the project collections that use the extension.
