I have a question about user definition in TFS. Should I create a new user account for everyone that want to work in my team in TFS Server?
In sourcesafe or subversion, it did not need to create a user on its server.

Yes, you should create account either on a server itself or in a domain this server belongs to. “By design security for Team Foundation is integrated with Windows authentication and based on users and groups,” – from this MSDN reference.
By the way, it is recommended not to give permissions for a particular user, but rather assign permissions to groups and then just add users to those groups.
