One of my pet dislikes about TFS is the lack of a good management interface to do all the repetitive tasks that need to be done. Well there’s some goods news out today with the release of TFS Permission Manager from the team in Israel. I’ve just downloaded the tool (2.3Mb) and spent the past 15 minutes having a quick tour and I’ve got to say this tool rocks!
In addition the managing security across TFS, SRS and WSS, this tool also provides a nice interface to manage Area Path permissions and Source Control permissions to boot. The UI seems nice and responsive and so far it seems to be reporting and changing permissions without any issues at all.
If you’re administering a TFS server and response for configuring security, this tool is well worth a look.
