Here's another question that I often get: How can I control which Team Projects a specific user can see in TFS?

A: In TFS 2008 this is the default behaviour! New projects will only be visible to the members of the project groups.

In TFS 2005 there's a different story. Here the behaviour is that all valid TFS users can see all projects. That of course won't give them rights to do things in the projects, but having a long list of projects can be confusing. The solution in this case is to create a role (i.e. "Denied users") with "View project-level information" set to "Deny".

Does this mean if you've upgraded to 2008, users will still see old 2005 projects even though we're running 2008?

When the TFS has been upgraded to 2008 the new security policy is applied so a user should only see the projects he/she is a member of. Existing projects from 2005 will therefore automatically be visible wheras the ones created in 2008 will have the new behaviour.
