Working with Visual Studio 2010 - Part 3

 

In part 3 I show how to add users to Team Projects. This requires granting access to domain users in Team Foundation Server, SharePoint and Reporting Services.
0:00

hi and in this

0:02

video i will show you how to add users

0:05

to your visual studio team foundation

0:07

server 2010 team projects remember that

0:10

we are using beta 2 or false visual

0:12

studio and visual studio team foundation

0:14

server for this video's ok so so far we

0:18

have already created a team project a

0:20

book starting project and now we want to

0:23

give access or grant access to the

0:26

participants the members of the team to

0:28

this team project so how to do that ok

0:32

so first thing to know here is that we

0:34

actually have to grant access in three

0:36

places for each user ok first we have to

0:40

grant grant access in the main team

0:42

foundation server then we'd have to

0:44

grant access to the SharePoint portal

0:46

and finally to the reporting services a

0:48

website so let's get started for these

0:54

for this desks I will login to the

0:58

actual server using remote desktop and

1:01

the tasks that I am going to do are not

1:04

necessarily you have to do it in the

1:06

server you can actually just do it in

1:08

the client in your client but I am doing

1:11

this this way because my client computer

1:13

is not connected to the domain so it

1:16

will complicate stuff so here we are in

1:19

the windows server 2008 team foundation

1:21

server and we have four accounts right

1:24

here so i have already granted access to

1:29

joe black which is a developer and now i

1:31

want to grant access to hulu kosel

1:33

myself as a developer in this project

1:36

how to do that let's go to visual studio

1:39

I have a install visual studio in the

1:42

server just the team foundation client

1:46

just to do this administration stuff and

1:48

I have already connected to our team

1:51

project bookstore I am just using super

1:54

I mean straighter account the main I

1:56

mean 30 account of the domain for this

1:58

exercise you may you might as well use

2:00

any other account to with enough

2:02

privilege and in the server so let's add

2:08

Julio to the

2:10

team foundation server so we will just

2:12

right-click in the team project go to

2:15

team project settings and select group

2:17

membership here you see there are

2:21

several groups and you should choose the

2:23

appropriate group according to the to

2:27

the role of your of your new member in

2:29

this case as Hooley will be just a

2:31

developer we can add him to the

2:33

contributors group let's click

2:35

properties hmmm let's click so let's

2:44

click in the windows user group and

2:47

click Add find myself here Mike on main

2:51

account is will you see click ok so my

2:55

gun is now here and ok and click close

2:58

so let's see if Julio actually has

3:01

access to the editing project so let's

3:03

go to the to the client information to

3:06

the client computer and open business to

3:09

do 2010 ok here we are let's try to

3:14

connect to team foundation server ok

3:16

let's click servers and DFS ok so it is

3:26

asking for credentials now we will use

3:28

the Julio's credential click ok that's

3:37

it close ok so it's trying to look up

3:43

for my the project where I do to which I

3:47

3:50

3:53

4:00

4:02

team project ok ok so you have already

4:08

seen probably that we have this not good

4:12

red crosses here both in documents in

4:15

reports and that's because we have not

4:17

still added a access to those two other

4:20

components of the foundation server

4:22

which are the sharp inside and the

4:23

reports

4:24

for the services site so let's continue

4:27

and granted access to Julio click back

4:29

and go back to the remote desktop

4:32

right-click in the team project and

4:34

6:03

will depend on what kind of user is this
