We've seen some problems with users being denied permission to perform actions such as making comments on a workitem or uploading artifacts into the project space. Users need to be assigned a role by the project administrator; who is typically the user who created the project. Roles determine what permissions a user has to perform activities in the project (like creating, editing/saving work items, etc.) If a user has no role set they default to an "everyone" permission set which is very limited.

To assign roles to project members the administrator opens the administration screen by clicking on the "Manage Project" link on the top right of the project page. The "Members" section will show all the users who are members of the project and what role, if any, they have been assigned. The assigned role can be changed by selecting the user and then clicking "Actions."

We're looking into providing some tutorial help in this area so stay tuned. Also, a reminder that this forum is a great place to post questions when you're having trouble.

Thanks, Brian
