How to configure View Project-Level Information on Service Account?

Question

I'm attempting to use Release Management vNext in TFS 2015 Update 2 RC2, however whenever I try to deploy to an environment, I get the error:

TF50309: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation: [DefaultCollection]\\Project Collection Service Accounts. The following permissions are required to complete the operation: View Project-Level Information.

I've looked everywhere in the settings, and cannot seem to find a way to configure the [DefaultCollection]\\Project Collection Service Accounts group with this permission, the closest it comes is "View Collection-Level information".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Answer 1

If you have project level security permission, you can check user has 'View project-level information' permission. And check user is member of which groups and that groups have 'View project-level information' permission set.

Answer 2

view project-level permission is the permission of project-level . Just the same as View Collection-Level permission for project collection-level.

If you want to give a user or group the view-project level permission. Please follow the steps below to set this permission:

• By GUI Give "View project-level information" permission to User in Team Foundation Server
• By Command: Tfs security /a+ details you can refer from msdn

However this may solve your issue: Adding your build account on the environment machine in the following group
