• Add, delete, and modify multiple user permissions from a TFS Team Project and apply them at the same time
• Identify missing permissions from Sharepoint or SQL Reporting Services and correct them
• View a log of permission changes that have occured
• Define what Sharepoint and SQL Reporting Services permissions should be automatically used when creating a new TFS user

In order to run the TFS Administration Tool, you will need the following components installed

• .NET Framework 2.0
