How can I set policies in VSTS 2017 for all project team members

86 Views Asked by At

I found info to set a policy such as check in on each computer in Visual Studio but I am hoping to set it in VSTS 2017 for all project team members.

Is there such a way?

I assume you're talking about TFVC check-in policies.

For policies to work, the associated policy assembly has to be installed for each user on their local PC. There is no way around this.

Policies only apply within Visual Studio. There is nothing preventing someone from bypassing the policy entirely by removing the assembly from their computer, by using the editor in the web portal, or by directly interacting with source control via code or the TF.exe command line utility.
