I am a TFSAdmin and when I have a TFS project in which a subfolder needs specific permissions to deny some users. So, I right click on the folder in question hit Properties, and click the Security tab.

There I select the Windows User or Group radio, then click Add. I put in the AD User that I want specific permissions for and hit Check Names. That resolves, so I click OK.

Next, I select the permissions to Allow or Deny below in the Permissions for list. I hit OK.

The permission are honored by TFS, this user no longer has PendChange permissions and I was expecting.

The odd thing is, I was expecting to be able to go back into the Security tab and see that User in the list of Users and Groups and see the current state. But the list is always empty. Not sure why, but the permissions are definitely being honored, I can re-add the user with different permissions and those are also honored.

Any ideas why the current users are not showing up in the Users and Groups list under the Security tab for a folder's properties?

I also used the tf permission $\... to see if there were any permissions but it always returns

There are no permissions set for this item (Inherit: Yes)
