TF50309: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation

Question

I am created build and deploying those using TFS 2015. Everything was proper but from last two weeks the Build is being created successfully but the Release part is throwing error

TF50309: The following account does not have sufficient permissions to complete the operation:[*****]\Project Collection Service Accounts. The following permission is needed to perform this operation:View Project-level Information

So I verified the team project-> security settings. View Project-level Information is set to Allowed for all the groups except Project valid user. All the other groups are member of Project valid user so I do not think it should be a issue.

Can somebody help me out and give a proper solution

Solution 1

Add "Project Collection Service Accounts" as member of "Release Administrators" group.

Solution 2

For me the issue was in visual studio so after opening visual studio installer and selecting repair option the issue disappeared.

All the group had proper permissions. The issue got resolved by adding "Project Collection Service Accounts" as member of "Release Administrators" group.

A short answer is welcome, however it won't provide much value to the latter users who are trying to understand what's going on behind the problem. Please spare some time to explain what's the real issue to cause the problem and how to solve. Thank you ~

This did not help for me.

What did help for me was to run az account clear && az login, because apparently I had an old account cached or something like that.
