TFSSecurity to change git branch permissions

Question

I am implementing the TFS Security commands to change a git master branch acess control permissions to DENY for contribute field.

Below is the command I am using:

/tfssecurity.exe /a+ GitRepositories repositories/[543473b8-6186-42b3-bdab-b22bc44cc8f8/] GenericContribute n:'"[Projectname]\TFSGroup'" DENY /collection:CollectionURL"

I am using powershell 3.0 for this project and I get below error

Error: The security namespace GitRepositories does not exist.

Could someone help me with this?

Answer 1

According to the error info, you are implementing with a not exist namespace.

You can use tfssecurity /a command to view a list of namespaces at the server level

The namespace that contains the group from which you want to remove the user or group. You can also use the tfssecurity /a command to view a list of namespaces at the server level, the collection level, and the project level.

More detail info of this command, please refer the link from MSDN: Change groups and permissions with TFSSecurity

Answer 2

You missed a blank space in "Git Repositories" name space. Try following:

tfssecurity.exe /a+ "Git Repositories"
