We have an on-premises version of TFS 2018. We have set up a user to have access to the collection under the "Version Control" tab with the following permissions.

TFS Collection Set Up

I have then drilled down into the projects under the collection and set some of the files (web.config), to be Read = Deny.

TFS Restrictions

I would have presumed that this setting didn't allow the user to see the contents of the file when opened in Visual Studio. Is this the case or have I misunderstood the setting? If so how can I restrict access to certain files in TFS.

    That setting has nothing to do with Visual Studio. It means they won't be able to download it in the first place. If they already have a copy, they can see it. – Daniel Mann Aug 09 '21 at 23:10
  • Thanks Daniel, Just to clarify I have changed the setting after configuring TFS and Visual Studio link, am I right in thinking that for this not to be downloaded in the first place then I would need to remove mapping and remap? – WillNZ Aug 09 '21 at 23:13
