TFS Error: HTTP code 403: TF53011: DOMAIN\USER is not a licensed user.

While adding a new user to the TFS I got the following error:
HTTP code 403: TF53011: DOMAIN\USER is not a licensed user.

There are many talks in the web, but the solution might be VERY simple (it was in my case):
Add the new user to the TFS group "Team Foundation Licensed Users Group":
- In the 'Team Explorer', right click on the TFS Server -> Team Project Settings -> Group Membership
- Add the new user to the following group:
[SERVER]\Team Foundation Licensed Users Group
