Hi there! It sounds like you're encountering some access issues with your Azure DevOps setup for your collaborative project. The error messages about denied access to certain folders and read-only properties can be a bit tricky to troubleshoot, but here are a few suggestions to help you out:
Permissions Check:
Double-check the permissions for the folders causing the issue. Ensure that both you and your teammate have the necessary permissions to read and write to those directories.
Workspace Configuration:
Verify your workspace configurations in Azure DevOps. Make sure both workspaces are correctly mapped and pointing to the right folders. This ensures that when you check out a file, it reflects the changes to your teammate.
Read-Only Attribute:
Check the read-only attribute of the files causing trouble. If they are set to read-only, try changing the attribute to ensure both of you have write access.
Visual Studio Settings:
Confirm the Visual Studio settings on both your machines. Sometimes, differences in settings can lead to inconsistent behavior. Ensure you are using the same configurations.
Regarding the specific issue of one person being able to open the project while it's read-only, it might be worth checking if they have local modifications that haven't been committed. Sometimes, pending changes can affect the ability to open files.
I hope these simple tips help resolve the access issues you're facing. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Impressico Business Solution for further assistance. They might have additional insights into specific configurations or common issues related to your setup. Good luck with your project collaboration!
