Unable to get Access level tab in TFS

I am using TFS 2013, Update 5.

I am unable to see the 'Access Levels' tab in the admin section.

Verified also that the account has Console Permissions.

Added the account in [TEAM FOUNDATION]\Team Foundation Administrators group in TFS Admin Console.

While sending request from my site. I am getting 

Request URL: `http://<account_name>:8080/tfs/_admin/_licenses`<br>
Request Method:  GET<br> Status Code: 404 Not Found<br> X-TFS-ServiceError:
Page+not+found.

The tab just simply isn't there.

And also I am unable to see the TEST tab in the projects.

Tried the solution: Access levels configuration tab not visible in TFS 2015

I have cleared the TFS_cache and restarted the server. Even after that, I am unable to view the tab though I have added myself to Team Foundation Administrators Group. Because of this access I am unable to view the Test tab in the project collection home page, Access tab in control section and Adding / Modifing charts under work item.

Kindly help me to fix the issue.

Even after multiple ways in the admin level if you are unable to see tab, Navigate to TFS console-->Application Tier-->Administration Security. Under users and Groups section select [Team Foundation]\Team Foundation Valid Users and set the permission of Edit Instance-level information to Allow. This way it has solved my problem.

Just check the access level or your account, make sure you are not in the Stakeholder level. Just change the access level to Basic or Advanced Level if the user was in Stakeholder level.

If you change the default access level to Stakeholder, all users not explicitly added to the Basic or Advanced level will be limited to the features provided through Stakeholder access.

Then try the solution mentioned in this thread: Access levels configuration tab not visible in TFS 2015

Besides, based on the error message "Status Code: 404 Not Found", generally it should an client-side issue. SO, just try below things to narrow down the issue:

  • Using IP instead of the server name in URL, e.g : http://192.168.1.10:8080/tfs/_admin/_licenses
  • Try with other client machines or browsers
  • Cleaning the caches on your current client machine

Check if that works for you.

Cause of HTTP 404 Errors:

Technically, an Error 404 is a client-side error, implying that the error is your mistake, either because you typed the URL incorrectly or the page has been moved or removed from the website and you should have known.

Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource but did so without redirecting the old URL to the new one. When that happens, you'll receive a 404 error instead of being automatically routed to the new page.

If that still not work, then try to repair the TFS server, then try it again.
