How to: Add Users to a Team Project Group
Adding users to already-existing groups for your team project is a simple way to manage users and the permissions they require. Adding users to a security group is an efficient way to grant a specific set of permissions to a group of users on your team project.
Adding users to a team project group will give users the permissions of that group only at the level of that particular project. To make changes globally to a default group, see How to: Add Users to a Default Group.
Required Permissions
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Project Administrators group. For more information about permissions, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

In Team Explorer, select the team project that the group is in.
On the Team menu, point to Team Project Settings, and then click Group Membership.

To add more than one user at a time, separate the entries with a semicolon (;).
