Customising a Team Project Template: How to Give Default Permissio   

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of setting up my own Team Project Process Template, and 
am getting on pretty well. I'm now setting up a list of default work items 
that appear once the project has been created.

I'm playing around with the default value of the "Assigned To" field (in the 
WorkItems.xml file), and would like this to pick up users from our Active 
Directory. (Our TFS security is done using the AD.) However, for this to 
work, the user needs to be granted permission to use the Team Project. 

So, is it possible to add users to the Team Project (through the template) 
so that I can use the "Assigned To" field, as follows:

<FIELD refname="System.AssignedTo" value="John Smith" />

The documentation doesn't make it clear whether this is possible, let alone 
how it's done.

I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.

Many thanks,

Steve.
