I'm running the latest version of TFS 2015 Update 2.

I'm trying to create a test plan as per this guide https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380763.aspx

Which suggests when I go to Test > Test plan there should be a green plus icon to create test plans and so on. However I don't see this...

What I see in TFS...

I've got all 'test' related permissions under Security & Areas Allowed for my user, yet this makes no difference.

Am I blind or missing something obvious?

You need to Change access levels for your account to Advanced. If your account doesn't belong to Advanced access level, you won't be able to see the green plus icon.

    According to that link, I should get tabs 'Control panel', 'Access levels', 'Extensions' and 'Agent Pools' in the administration context, yet I only get tabs 'Control panel', 'Legacy Extensions' and 'Agent pools'. No sign of a 'Access levels' tab... does this mean I'm a basic user or have Microsoft been moving stuff around? – MJF Apr 15 '16 at 09:49
  • It seems you aren't a TFS administrator and don’t have permission to see the Access levels tab. Here’s how to get permissions: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb552341.aspx, or you can ask help from the TFS administrator. – Cece Dong - MSFT Apr 15 '16 at 10:00
  • That would appear to be correct, my user for accessing the web UI wasn't listed under the 'Administration Console Users' - doing this revealed the 'Access levels' tab which I could then add the user to the 'Advanced' level, which now allows me to add Test Plans... bit a faff but got there in the end. Thanks for your help. – MJF Apr 15 '16 at 15:32
