Issue:
=====
When using a TFS 2013 task backlog with more than 500 items, the following message is displayed:
You have exceeded the number of items allowed on your task board. The number of items to be displayed on the task board is: 578. This exceeds the allowed maximum of: 500. This maximum limit is configurable.
To resolve this issue, you can perform one of the following tasks:
· Reduce the number of items included in the current sprint.
· Your project administrator must increase the maximum number of allowed items.

Issue:
=====
Although a user is already part of a TFS group, he can't access TFS work items (source code is fine), and TFS Web client/Visual Studio display the following message:
TF201072: A user or group could not be found. Verify that the users and groups used in your work item type defiition have been added to Team foundation server.
Workaround:
=========
The cause is related to some snag in the TFS identity synch service, and it is usually related to a specific collection. There are many articles on the web which help determine the root cause, so here we are only focusing on a fast workaround.
Attaching and re-attaching the collection will force a refresh of the identity synch data, and will usually resolve the issue.
