Team members cannot see the TFS repository
I am unable to configure TFS so that the developers on my team can access and clone the repo to their local machines.
They all receive the following message:
You do not have permission to view permissions for this object
I added them as project members. I was even reluctant to make them administrators. However, all attempts to solve this problem have failed.

-
Open the administrator for the team project.
-
go to the security tab.
-
in the field to add user account, you can see the effective permissions on the right side.
-
User must have Allow in "View Project Level Information"
-
Hover your mouse over "Why" if you click "You must be" able to see the source of the permission denied.
This is for visual studio 2012, I am using btw.

I followed what Ash suggested above and was able to dig in and eventually work it out for my case. We hope to add a few steps to help more people find the page they want.
To change access from "Stakeholder" to "Basic":
- Go to your project page> under Project Settings, under General> Overview, which is the default, you should see Process = General. Click on the word "General" which will take you to your organization's settings.
- Under General> Users, you can see that you or some users have a higher stakeholder access level than Basic. The next step is to simply find someone who can change this.

Double check the permission of your team members to the corresponding repo. Web Portal-Settings-Version Control
Make sure Contribute permission is enabled.
Also check the permission of the groups they are in in TFS deny trumps allow .
If a user belongs to two groups, and one of them has a specific permission denied , that user will not be able to complete tasks that require this permission, even if they belong to a group that has this permission set to Allow .
