TFS WEB ACCESS WITHOUT CAL LICENCE

Everyone within your organization (but without tfs cal) can access Web Access in free mode, called WIOV, allowing them to create, view and edit their own work items.


Work item only view – WIOW is a restricted version of team web access – TWA, used when the user should view only creation / edition / history of working items.


This WIOW so called as WORK ITEM WEB ACCESS – WIWA. And it was being installed as a virtual directory under TWA 2008 (http://tfshost:8090/wiwa).


TWA meaning that there is a single entry point for both TWA and WIOV (http://tfshost:8080/tfs/web). The new behavior is based on a new TFS application-level permission called “Use full Web Access features”. If the user connected to TWA is denied for this permission, the application switches automatically to the WIOV.

In TFS administration, add the “Work Item Only View” users group -> set permission to “user level web access” to select.
