Permission denied when creating new team build

Things seem to be working great with TFS, except that when I try to create a new Team Build, I get this:
---------------------------
Team Build
---------------------------
Permission denied. You need 'Administer Build' privileges to create a new build type
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

My user is set as a namespace administrator (and I've rebooted like that). I even had myself manually added and had all permissions set. Still get the same error. If I goto the DC and logon as TFSSetup, I can create a new build (well, I don't get this error).

What else can I do so I can create builds Or should I just create them as TFSSetup

Use remote desktop and login on the server where TFS is installed. Or join your computer to a domain, and everything should work.

Did you try this with user credentials who is Namespace administrator for the TFS server

As per the product functionality, if you are a

Namespace administrator – You have access to all the features for that Team foundation server
Project administrator - You have access to all the Team project level features

If you are just a Contributor, You need "Administer a build" permission to create build types. You can grant/revoke these permissions from TeamProject | Team Project Settings | Permissions dialog.

Please do let me know if this does not work.

That post was it! My machine is not part of the domain. Logging onto the server via RDP works fine.

Thanks!
