Hi, this may be documented, and if so, I would appreciate your telling me where; to add users to the project so that they can be assigned work items what are the correct steps?
Thanks,
Barton
Barton, Each project has its own set of groups under the headings of Contributor, Project Administrator and Reader. There are also the global groups named Namespace Administrators, TFS Everyone, and Service Accounts. You add your existing users and groups to these new groups from Active Directory in the normal way. To add a user to the namespace administrators group using Team Foundation client:
Adding User and Groups to a project is pretty simple.
Log on to the client tier computer using the credentials of a user account that is already a member of the Namespace Administrators application group (for example, Domain\TFSSETUP).
Start Visual Studio and connect to Team Foundation Server.
On the Team menu, point to Team Foundation Server Settings, and then click Groups.
In the Global Groups dialog box, select the group you want to add users to, and then click Properties.
In the Team Foundation Server Group Properties dialog box, on the Members tab, select Windows User or Group, and then click Add.
In the Select User Names or Groups dialog box, enter the domain name and username of the users you want to add in the following format:
domain\username
To add more than one user at a time, separate the entries with a semicolon (;).
Click OK.
(please refer to the installation guide for more info)About the "Assigned to" not showing a dropdown in the second project: Do the controls on the form show up as editable, or are they read-only?
If they are read-only, it is probably because the connected user does not have write access to the project.
The simplest way to give him access is to add him to the "Contributors" group for that project. The steps are:
1. Right click on the project in team explorer, and select the choice for group memberships.
2. In the dialog that shows up, edit the properties for the [projectname]\Contributors group.
3. Add the windows user to that group.
Because of a bug that we've fixed subsequently, in beta2, after these steps, you *may need to close and reopen the VS client for the permissions to turn up correctly.
Thanks.

Is there any document available at this time along the lines of "Test Drive your Team System"?
It would REALLY help a lot if rather than guessing about features we could read about them, at least in terms of how they are supposed to function rather than by trial and error.
