Unable to Import - TFS.WebApi.Exception: TF400813

[PaulMatthewMadden]

Installed product versions

• Export/Import Buid Definition extension: 0.0.8

Description

Export seems to work fine. Importing gives me the following error (same Collection and same Team Project):

"Unable to parse the uploaded JSON due to error TFS.WebApi.Exception: TF400813: Resource not available for anonymous access. Client authentication required."

I am using TFS 2017 (15.105.25910.0). My TFS website is HTTP. My user account is part of the Project Collection Administrators security group. Same result on IE, Edge, and Chrome.

I notice when I install the extension it asks for the following permissions:

• Agent Pools (read)
• Build (read and execute)
• Build (read)

Shouldn't there be some 'write' permissions for importing?

Looks like a great extension when working! I would love to be able to use it! Thanks!

@PaulMatthewMadden Thanks for the feedback. Looks like you are on TFS 2017 RTM version. The vso.agentpools scope is available only from Update1 RC2 onwards. So installing TFS 2017 Update 1 should resolve the issue. See #16 where we discussed the same.

regarding your question Shouldn't there be some 'write' permissions for importing? Yes, write permission for creating the definition, but vso.build_execute covers that.

• Scopes for extension read/create definition (vso.build_execute and vso.build)
• Read build queues and pools (vso.agentpools) - no need of write permissions.

If you are interested, more details on scopes is here

@PaulMatthewMadden I am closing the issue. Please let me know if the issue still exists even after installing TFS 2017 Update 1.
