I am trying to give access to group of domain users (like All Developers) to team web access. I am able to add them to readers in team web access but when users try to access team web access it does not work. When I add users individually it works.
Adding a user to a domain group doesn't grant access in TFS Web Access

There is a job on the TFS server that expands these AD groups. It might take a while for that to happen if the group hasn't been synchronized to TFS before. The default update frequency is 1hr and can be configured in the web.config on the TFS Application Tier by setting it to a lower valueit will take less time for the user to appear.
Restarting the TFS server/services on the application tier will also trigger a refresh of the registered groups and users.
If the user was very recently added to this group, he might need to lock/unlock his windows session to make sure Windows updates the group membership. Alternatively logging off and back on should also update the client.
Tell them to reboot their computer (the developer). That always seems to work for me when I change somebodies AD groups and it's not taking effect quickly enough.
