OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility - Cannot add Account Owner to Project Collection Service Account Group

I'm attempting to use the tool for a TFS 2012 Migration to VS Team Services. Validation is showing that I need permissions for my logged in User to be under the Project Collection Service Account Group. When I try to manually add my User as a "Member Of" through the website, I get a "You do not have permissions to perform this action"

My user is the Account Owner and a member of Team Foundation Service Administrator and Project Collection Service Administrator groups. Is there something I'm missing?

Solution

  • TFS has recently changed this to disallow users directly changing members of Service Account. There is however, a workaround that you can use.

    1. Create a new (custom) VSO Group
    2. Under 'Members', add your user.
    3. Under 'Member of', add [DefaultCollection]Project Collection Service Accounts
    4. Go back to OVSMU and re-validate the migration that you were creating.
