Why can't I connect to my project using my newly created system user?

I followed this walkthrough to create a new user in TFS and add it to the Admin group

When I try to connect to my portal project (directly from the tfs machine) it prompts me for my credentials:

  • if i enter my new user credentials, IIS says "Access Denied"
  • If I try to log in using the Windows Administrator account, it works fine.

I'm a little confused. Do I need to grant access to my user account elsewhere? (like in IIS?)

Additional info: I am using TFS sp1, on a Windows 2008 server + sql server 2008. My user account was created as a standard user on the server (I tried to upgrade it to Admin user just in case, but that doesn't work either)

I'm assuming "project portal" means Sharepoint server? Is this TFS in "workgroup mode" (which means 5 user restrictions?). If so, you need to add the user to the Licensed Users group in TFS.



If not, I would check that the user has permission to access Sharepoint: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252449(VS.80).aspx
