• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Valid Users members

  In Beta 2 and July CTP, I was able to add users into the global Team Foundation Valid Users VSTS group, but now in Beta 3 the button to add members is greyed out. Is this intentional or am I missing something It looks like now I have to add users per project instead of globally into that group Thanks. This is by design.
