If for some reason you need to re-install SharePoint 2010 as part of your TFS deployment you may get a “TF250052: Grant access rights already exists for the following Team Foundation Server URL: http://tfs01:8080/tfs . You should modify the existing access” but you don’t see anything in the existing list!

Figure: Um… where is the existing item and why the TF250052?

Applies to

  • SharePoint 2010
  • Visual Studio 2012 Team Foundation Server

Findings

Although it is not displayed the previous listing is still there. If you click “Refresh” at the top of the window it will magically appear..

Solution

Just click “OK” and then “Cancel”. Your display will then refresh with the entry listed! Phew..
