Team Foundation Server Administration Tool

One of the hidden gems that can be found in the TFS Install and Administration Guides (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29035) is a reference to the Team Foundation Server Administration Tool: http://tfsadmin.codeplex.com/

If you do not have a version of Visual Studio installed on your machine that is compliant with this tool, you will need to install the Team Foundation Server Object Model in order to be able to run this tool: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/19311823-5262-4e63-a586-2283384ae3bf

The numerous limitations that are currently present in the Team Foundation Server Web Access UI can be overcome by using this tool.  There is no telling when Microsoft will improve the Team Foundation Server Web Access User Interface for managing security permissions, but for now, you can rely on this handy tool for managing your Team Foundation Server security permissions!
