title: Custom Role in VSTS to allow Add Users
body: <p>I’m trying to create a custom role to assign to users to allow them to add users to a project.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/security/add-users-team-project#prerequisites" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MS’ documentation</a> on this claims the custom role just needs to be “edit project-level information” and "edit instance-level information" but that doesn’t work. In fact if I set Allow to all the possible permissions, my test user still can’t add others to the project.</p>
  
  <p>My test user can <strong>only</strong> add other users to the project if they are made a Project Team Administrator or added to the built-in Project Administrators group.</p>
  
  <p>But I've been asked: is it possible to have a reduced set of permissions to allow users to be added to a project without being a full blown administrator?</p>
