Domain and Workgroup Requirements (Planning Guide)

Authorization for user actions, such as workspace administration and project creation, are all determined by permissions. When you create a project in Team Foundation Server, four default groups are created for that project regardless of your choice of process template: Project Administrator, Contributor, Reader, and Build Services. By default, each of these default groups have a set of authorizations defined for them. Other groups are created according to your choice of process but are not added to the project. You can add these groups as your business needs require.

For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

To connect to Team Foundation Server with any client, you must be trusted in your domain, or have appropriate cross-domain or cross-forest trust. You also must have permissions on the application-tier server and the data-tier server. In other words, you must have the same permissions as if you want to connect a using terminal server.
