TFS 2010 Gated Checkin - TF14098: Access Denied: User xxx needs Checkin, CheckinOther permission(s)

If you have enabled Gated Checkin on your souce tree, you would have seen the following properties in the build alert email:

• Checked in on behalf of
• Checked in by

The value for "Checked in by" is the account under which the build agent is running. The value for "Checked in on behalf of" is the user who actually checked in the changes which triggered the Gated Checkin.

If you recieve this below error during gated checkin:
TF14098: Access Denied: User xxx needs Checkin, CheckinOther permission(s) for $/TeamProject/xxx/abc.cs.

The reason is that the build agent account doesn't have permission on your source tree to checkin other user's changes

Windows Azure - Access to the path 'ServiceDefinition.build.csdef' is denied.

If you receive this error:
Error 102 Unable to copy file "ServiceDefinition.csdef" to "ServiceDefinition.build.csdef". Access to the path 'ServiceDefinition.build.csdef' is denied. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.4\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets

The problem is that the file 'ServiceDefinition.build.csdef' is read-only. You will be able to find this file in your cloud project (.ccproj) directory. If you remove the read-only setting, the error will disappear and build and publish commands will work properly.
