- Register new or update existing build process templates
- Manage security
- Understand which security groups have which members
- Delete security groups

- Add or update security groups
- Manage members and permissions for security groups
- Manage source control
- Understand which projects have which source control settings (multiple check-out, get latest on check-out, check-in notes)
- Update source control settings
- Visualize branch hierarchies
- Manage work item configuration
- Compare work item configurations (i.e. work item type definitions, categories, process configuration) with various sources, e.g. to determine which Process Template was likely used to create which project
- Understand which projects use which work item types and how many work items there are of each
- Import new or update existing work item types
- Manage work item categories
- Manage process configuration (i.e. common and agile configuration)
- Transform work item tracking configuration (i.e. apply XML transformations on work item type definitions, categories, process configuration)
