VSTS Team Build Permissions

Hi all

I am facing problems in giving permission to a particular user, like ADMINISTER_BUILD, EDIT_BUILD_STATUS, GENERIC_READ, START_BUILD. I am able to create the build type successfully though. Check-in and check out and edit of build type is not working as those things are disables for me in the “Source control explorer”.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 I was just thinking if you could give me some tips so as to how I can give above permissions to a particular user. I have added the user in namespace administrator, project admin and all TFS groups and all but still it’s not working.

I serached and found something like permission command 
(c:\amol >  tf permission......) but where and how to use it.

Thanks in advance
Amol

    On the machine where you are planning to run builds, you need to install Build machine components.  I am not sure of the exact path, please search for a folder named BB on the disk. Under this you should find setup.exe to run for installing the Build components. You can run this on the machine where you have VS installed.

    The machine where you install the Build components is the machine you should give as the Build Machine when you create a build type.

    To checkin/Checkout a build type -
    1. Create a workspace using H workspace /new <name> /s:<server> and map the folder "$/Teamproject/BuildConfigurations" to a local folder.
    2. h get /r in that local folder to get all the files.
    3. go to the folder where TeamBuild.proj exists, and use h edit Teambuild.proj to edit the file.
    4. modify and use h checkin to checkin the file.

    Let me know if this solves your issues.
    Thanks,

    Thanks Anutthara for quick response.

    I cheched the Khusboos Blog, the link that you have provided, Unfortunatly I am not able to see the Build Services groups anywhere in my setup, Nor in the team oroject group or on the TFS server level.

    So IA m wondering where do I need to do this One more thing I would like to mention here. The steps that are there on MSDN to setup build machine (pasted Below), I couldnt find out which setup I need to run. (I am using VSTS beta 2)

    Also When I create a build type, and when I try to build, it simple stope giving me the message box "Build machine Not reachable"

    Please help !



     

    To setup a build machine

    1. Double-click setup.exe to launch Build Machine setup and follow the directions provided.

      Note:
      The setup.exe and associated files are located on the Team Foundation Server installation CD.

      Note:
      During the setup, the username and password information under which the TeamBuildService is to be run needs to be provided. This account should be NAMESPACE ADMINISTRATOR.

    2. After installation, click OK.

      You can now execute builds successfully on the build machine.
