TFS 2012 security - allow users to edit status of work items

Question

My organization wants to use TFS to track user sign-off of work items by changing the work item Status. The first user I asked to view a work item in TFS is being prevented from viewing the work item. How do I set permissions for him to view and edit the work item status?

Answer 1

I suggest you to access your Web Portal of project, select Security section ensure that your user have permission, exist in Contributors Group that contains permission. (Best practise is to set contributor group to your members team)
