Our DevOps team continues to investigate issues with team creation under a project. Root cause is not fully understood at this time. Some customers continue to experience error “TF400491: User has no team write permissions” when tries to create a new team. We currently have no estimated time for resolution.

Though user getting the error, team is getting created but not with all required associations of iterations and area path.

• Work Around: As the team is partially created and area and Iteration association for the team failed. User can manually add the association by following below steps:

                                                   1. Navigate the team admin page Error! Hyperlink reference not valid.
                                                   2. Navigate to Work -> Iterations, to associate iterations
                                                   3. Navigate to Work -> Areas, to associated areas.

• Next Update: Before 12/10/2016 02:00 UTC
