If you’re using Visual Studio 2012, I’d suggest applying Visual Studio 2012 Update 1. For more information on the Visual Studio 2012 update, see the blog post at: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2012/11/26/visual-studio-2012-update-1-now-available.aspx.
Note: We have discovered a bug with update 1. When a new Team Project Collection is created, the collection name is visible to all users on a server through various clients (but of course it is not accessible by any other users due to lack of permissions).
We’re working with Microsoft to resolve this as soon as possible.
