TFS 2015 disabling 'CODE', 'BUILD', 'TEST', 'RELEASE'

Question

Is there a way to disable the menu options 'CODE', 'BUILD', 'TEST', 'RELEASE' in TFS 2015? Reason I ask is because they are not used.

Answer 1

You can disable 'CODE', 'BUILD', 'TEST' by changing access levels, you can assign Stakeholder access to those users who need to enter bugs, view backlogs, boards, charts, and dashboards, but who don't have a TFS CAL. But Stakeholders can also view releases and manage release approvals, so you can't disable 'RELEASE' tab.
