Access level doesn't set to Public after save

[ipa1981]

I try unset repository Access level from "Private" to make it public. However it resets every time after save. Any ideas?

Hi Ilja

If you look carefully, you'll see there's a note under 'Access level' that says that this repository cannot allow public forks. The current repo you're showing was forked from a private repo, and the parent repo is not allowing public forks. You'll need to change that on the settings of the parent repo.

Hope that explains! Let us know if you have any further questions :)

Best regards,

Ana

Thanks, but it looks that repo was started by someone out of organization. How it is possible to find who owns the partent repository?

Hi, if you don't know who owns the repository, I won't be able to give you that information for security reasons, but you can ask someone in your team, one of the will know because someone must have forked it from somewhere :)

If they don't want to allow public forks, an alternative for this would be to clone the repo instead of forking it (if you have the right permissions), that way you'll have the same code but it will be a completely separate repo and you'll be able to set the privacy as you wish.

Let us know if this helps!

Cheers,

Ana
