You must use the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2012 (included in all Visual Studio editions or may be separately downloaded) to create a team project on a TFS 2012 server.  If you use VS 2010, you will get an error about not having permission.  The error message is very misleading, because it’s not a problem with your permissions.----...
