TFS–User \ needs the 'ManageBuildResources' permission to add, update, or delete the build resources on the server.

When trying to install and configure a XAML Build controller I got the following error during the validation step:
User <domain>\<username> needs the 'ManageBuildResources' permission to add, update, or delete the build resources on the server.
Ok, no problem. I know that to configure the XAML Build and link it to a specific collection you need to be part of the Project Collection Administrators or Project Collection Build Administrators group. So I opened up the TFS Administration Console, browsed to the Collection where I want to add a build controller and clicked on Group Membership. The Global Groups window is loaded and here I can add the user(Click on Properties… –> Add).

Unfortunately this didn’t solve the problem. Although I had added the user to the correct groups, the error keeps appearing…
However when I added the user to the same groups through the web portal, it did work. Strange!

  • Open the Web Portal
  • Go the Administration site
  • Select the Collection level
  • Go to the Security tab
  • Select the Project Collection Administrators group
  • Click on Members and add the user

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
