The Context screen is designed to manage a company's separate business units. Contexts are linked to an Enterprise.

A context allows organisations to separate the TFS database into 'sections'. For example, if the enterprise has an office in Sydney and an office in Melbourne and they're both connected to the same servers, creating two contexts will allow separation of Sydney and Melbourne data. By default, Sydney users will not be able to view Melbourne's data and vice versa.

There must be at least one context included in the system and it must be associated with the enterprise.

Note: Users can be given access to more than one Context if required
