Error TF24042

Hello,

I have added two domain groups in [Team Project] \Contributors group, but users received the error message:

"TF24042 You do not have permission to create work items in project ...".

Users cannot see any work item created for that Team Project.

Please, could you help me

Thanks

Montse

It seems to be some problem with the WorkItem type definition, are you using a customized template or the default ones

How long ago did you add the domain groups to the contributors group We have a delay between add and actual permissions propagation since we cache the AD data in TFS. Try adding a user directly to the Contributors group to see if that resolves the issue

This may not solve your issue, but I wanted to clarify something. The permission required to view work items is not 'view project level information'. You need to right-click on a project and go to Areas and Iterations. There, select an Area node (root will apply for the whole project) and click security. In the dialog that comes up, there are two permissions for work items -> View Work Items and Edit Work Items. These are the only two permissions that the work item tracking component validates.

Thanks Adam. I have added the group this morning, but I have also tried adding a user and it didn't work. I did this task in the past and it always worked adding users. I have upgraded Team Foundation from the Trial version about 3 months ago. Do you think that this could impact any Team foundation server service and the security is not working appropiately

Thanks,

Hi Adam,

Yes, the contributors group have the "View project level information" permission.

Karthik is correct on the work item editing permissions that the Contributors group requires. This may or may not be your problem here.

On the event log error - can you share your work item type definition with us please so that we can help debug this issue I'll also get a few other folks to take a look at this problem.

Thanks,
Alan Finney
I'm using a customized template. I have created using the "Process Template Editor".

Any idea how to find the error

Maybe try to download and check again the template in PTE, but I think that the "Rules" table of TfsWorkItems database has something wrong, or at least it seems looking at the event viewer log
Hardrock302

Does your Contributors group have the "View project level information" permission I think that's what's necessary to create work items.

I don't believe the upgrade should have any effect on these particular permissions, though I haven't done much testing of such situations myself so can't be positive.

Are there any messages in the event log on the Application Tier It may be having trouble syncing new users, for example, and would log that in the machine's application event log.

Cheers,
Adam
