I have a custom check-in policy in TFS. I want this policy to be disabled only by Admins and not by Developers.Developers should not be allowed to remove the policy on their machines. How do I do it ?
You must have the Edit project-level information permission set to Allow if you want to Enable or Disable Check-In Policies.
You can deny Edit project-level information for Developers, so they won't be able to change the check-in policy.

I am configuring a project for a team in Azure DevOps (server).
I would like to allow some members of that team to create/manage their own iterations and areas but I can't seem to do so without granting them permission to the project's security. Even where the permissions are inherited, the user can still add/remove people from the security groups.
Do all three permissions truly come from the "Edit project-level information" setting or is there something else I can do?
Thanks!
I have since learned that being a member of "Project Administrators" is what grants access to manage security, not the "Edit project-level permissions" setting.
Current situation (if I'm not missing anything)
If Project settings --> Repos-->Repositories-> Git Repositories -> "Edit Policies" is allowed, users can edit Cross Repo Policies and add "local" policies to individual repos/branches
If Project settings --> Repos-->Repositories-> Git Repositories -> "Edit Policies" is denied , users can't edit any kind of policies (Cross Repo or "local")
If I want users to be able to edit "local" policies on specific repos/branches but not be able to edit Cross Repo Policies, I have to
On "Git Repositories", set "Edit Policies" to Denied
On each Repository, set "Edit Policies" to Allowed
Desired behavior
Is there a way to allow users to edit "Local" repository/branch policies without setting permissions on each individual repo?
Basically, I want to enforce the company wide "Cross Repo Policies" but allow teams to add additional policies own their own repos/branches if necessary.
Thanks
The behavior you described in above current situation is by design, and it is easy to understand. For the permissions you set for Git Repositories are Cross Repo, they apply to all the repos in the project.
So that if you allow the edit policy permission for a user in Git Repositories level. He will be able to edit the Cross Repo Policies. If you deny the permission, he will not be edit any kind of policy.
When a user is added to a team group of the project. He will inherit the permission settings of this group. So you can set the Edit Policies permission to Not set for a user on Git Repositories level. He will inherit the permission set for the group which he is a member of.
If you want to enforce the company wide "Cross Repo Policies" but allow teams to add additional policies own their own repos/branches if necessary. You will need to set the Edit Policies permission to Deny on Git Repositories level and set the Edit Policies permission to allow on each repo level for each individual team group.

I created a user and added them to the 'Contributors' group so they can access code and change items. However, I don't want them to see any security settings. As of right now, using just the contributors group they can go to the web access portal and see all the security settings (even though they cannot modify them). I do not want them to see ANY security settings or groups. How do I do this?
I suggest you to create new custom Group TFS and disable permission : View project level information.
he will have this message if he clicks : "TF50309: the following account does not have sufficient ... "
I have some users accessing CRM directly and some others trough a web portal. I want to disable the access to CRM of some users depending of their security role.
I can't disable users or remove the security roles they have because won't be able to read/write/own i.e Case entity.
Is there any permissions of the security role I can remove for deny this access? I research for it and can't find anything, I suppose the answer is No.
Any workaround for accomplish this?
If you are on UR12 or above, you can try use similar logic as Microsoft has implemented for Control browsers which organization supports. Only difference is that instead of checking what browser user has, you would have to check his roles and decide if he can access CRM vie browser or not.
Look at 'How Does the Solution Work?' section for details.
Removing these permissions:
Core Records: User Entity UI Settings
Business Management: User Settings
Customization: Customizations, System Form, View, Web Resource
Will deny move through CRM, but as #MarioZG says the user will see the UI with a warning message of 'Insufficient Permissions' to see the records.
I was asked to grant permissions to several TFS users.
These users must have access to one branch only. How can I do this?
I'm going to create new TFS user group and deny access to root of Source Control, then allow access to necessary branch. What do you think?
That is the correct approach.
It doesn't work. Because Deny permission has higher priority than Allow even Deny even if it exist on parent. Deny permission always override Allow permissions. If you are using TFVC as source control, you could set the permission of root to "Not Set" and in then set "Allow" access to the branch you needed.
Remember that in GitVC it's a little diffrent.
