I am using VSTS work item tracking for personal projects and I want to share my progress with people who do not have access to my VSTS account.
Is it possible to achieve this ? Ideally, I would like to show a read-only backlog board for the project across iterations.
If users are not have access to your VSTS account, they can’t view the backlog and board.
The workaround is add the users as stakeholder and only give them the permission to view the work items. Detail settings as below:
Add users for stakeholder access level
In https://account.visualstudio.com/_admin/_users page -> Add new users -> input the users email address and separate with semicolons for multiple users -> Access level as Stakeholder -> specify the project(s) you want them to view -> select Project Readers as VSTS Group -> Add.
Set permissions for the project(s)
In a project Security Tab https://account.visualstudio.com/project/_admin/_security -> select Reader group -> only set View Project-level information as Allow, others as Deny -> Save changes.
Deny permission for stakeholders view build and release Tab
In team project builds Tab, click Security -> set view build definition and view builds as deny -> Save changes.
In Release Tab, click … button for All release definitions -> security -> set view release definition and view releases as deny -> Save changes.
Now the stakeholders only can access to Work tab for the project. For other Tabs (Dashboards, Build and Release, Wiki), the users won't have permission to view and edit.

There are some changes in other person's AccuRev workspace. I can't promote these changes, because there is an overlap. I can't resolve the overlap, because the workspace is not mine. I can't cross-promote these changes, because apparently such functionality doesn't work with workspaces. I'd prefer not to reattach the workspace to my PC, because such action would disrupt the workflow of the other person.
I want to get these changes into my own workspace.
Is there a way?
You can do this a few ways.
By file:
For each file you want, in your workspace, select the file -> open the "version browser" -> select the version of the file from the other workspace -> right click -> You can either "Send to Workspace", Patch or Merge.
By Transaction:
Right click on the other users workspace -> Show History -> Select the transaction you want that includes the changes -> Right click -> Send to Workspace -> Pick your destination workspace.
I want to hide only settings menu from users. User must have all access and rights like admin.
i have tried it by creating group and overriding the settings menu. This is hiding settings menu from user but user doesn't get managerial rights of all modules. User should get managerial rights after any new modules is installed
thanks in advance.
try this, no need to create group or override it,
Login from the admin and Create a new User:-
Settings -> Users -> Users -> Create
See Second Notebook page name as Access Rights
If you want to see menu Setting than select Administration as Settings option and if you want to hide menu from the User than leave it empty.
Hopes this will help you.
I don't want the HR Guys to see anything but the submenu Users within the main menu settings.
Therefor I removed "500 - Settings" in the group "Administration / Access Rights" and added "4 - Settings / Users".
It seems that I misunderstood something, because the tap "Settings" disappears completely.
Could anybody give me a hand with this? Do i need to add some user rights? Is there even a possibility to do that via Groups and Menu Items?
Greetings,
Martin
create a new group, specify this group to the settings menu and users menu along with their default groups.Then provide this group to your "HR Guys"
Ok,
The way to "hidde" the other menus is to seperate the users menu from the settings as technical user in Settings -> User Interface -> Menu Items.
Afterwards connect the new users main menu with the groups which need accses to the users menu.
Important: dont forget to give the access rights so they can manipulate data
Greetings

I'm using OpenERP 7.0, and I've extended products with a products_available_at table, and I've added a menu option Locations under Sales - Configuration - Products. The menu item shows up just fine if I'm logged in as admin, but is missing for anybody else.
Any ideas how to make the menu item show up for everyone?
It will be a security issue. Please check whether you have provided security for the new model and also for the menu.
Settings -> Technical -> Security -> [Record Rules | Access Controls List]
The manager was some specific fields added to the standard TFS web parts.. I could just make a Sharepoint List but then it would not haev a relation to the TFS bug/Task list..
So is there a way to do this ?
Open Team Explorer for that project.
Menu -> Tools -> Process Editor -> Work Items Types -> Open WIT from Server
From here, you can add additional fields and publish it back out.
Here is an article that will walk you through something similar to what you are trying to accomplish:
