title: Making a TFS Branch Read-Only
body: <p>We are trying to follow the branching strategy from the <a href="http://tfsbranchingguideii.codeplex.com/" rel="noreferrer">TFS Branching Guide</a> and have reached the point where we have made a branch representing a release, which should now be made read-only.</p>
  
  <p>In the Properties|Security tab for the branch, it presents six user groups each with 10 permissions other than Read. Do I have to go through and click Deny on 60 check boxes, or is there a better way to make this branch read-only?</p>
