How to restrict Devs to specific project in TFS

we are using TFS in azure devops i have a solution in visual studio 2019 and we have created a project in TFS this project is connected to the solution in vs2019

This solution has 5 projects

there are 2 admin which are currently developing these projects now we are planning to add 2 more devs but we want to restrict new devs to only 2 projects in that solution. for security purpose Thanks

Solution

  • If you are using TFVC as source control, you can refer to the steps below:

    1. Select Security tab for the folder of the project (one of the project in your solution folder)

    1. Set Read permissions for the devs to Deny.

    If you are using Git as source control, you can’t set the security for an item (project in a solution) in the repository. As workaround, you can split projects into multiple repo(submodules), and then set permissions for each repo.
