Create new project option not showing in TFS Web Access


We recently moved our on-premise TFS server to a new server and we are able to access our projects on the new server.

However, I am unable to see the option to add a new project, only to browse to existing projects:

Missing option

I have checked my permissions and my permissions include:

  • Team Foundation Administrator
  • Project Collection Administrator

This should give me enough rights to add a new project. I'm sure I am missing something, but I cannot see what it is.


Solution

  • In Visual Studio Team Services (formerly Visual Studio Online) you can create your projects from the web interface.

    But in TFS you need to fire up a matching version of Visual Studio (in your case 2013), and create new projects from the Team Explorer window.

    From Team Foundation Server 2015 update 2 onwards you'll be able to create team projects using the web interface. With all older versions of TFS you need to follow these steps.
