I am trying to set permissions on TFS 2012 so as to deny read and browse of source code for some users/teams. Until now I have succeeded on denying read but I cannot deny a user from browsing it. That means, the user can easily see the full tree of files and folders. I would like the user not to be able even to browse it!

Found the solution!
I finally managed to totally hide source code from specific group of users (although I allow them to see work items) by setting “Edit collection-level information=>Not Set” on “Project Collection Valid Users” in “DefaultCollection Groups”.
Of course I had to manually deny every permission on the root ($) of source but I suppose this could work for any path you like.
After that I created areas and allowed on this group specific areas and everything goes perfect!
Alex, thanks for your support on that!
