I am new to creating work item types in TFS and want to create a new Work Item type.

I looked at work item template option, but that is not sufficient for me. I need to add few new fields and have a customized form.

From search I got information about Work Item Type definition but I am looking for some detailed example.

Also I would like to know the permissions needed to add a new work item type.

I got administrator privileges for my project, but not on TFS as a whole.

With that can I add a new template for my project.

Please provide me direction.
