Allow list of users of groups for deployments

[Parth_Joshi]

Currently bitbucket only has option "only allows admins to deploy". We would like to specify a groups or users who are not admins but are allowed access. Is this possible?

Hi Parth_Joshi,

thanks for your question.

As you already mentioned: This is not possible out of the box today. The built-in option is basically “admins only”, there is no native setting to allow a custom list of non-admin users or groups to run deployments directly.

Common workaround is to control who can merge into the deployment branch (e.g. main or release/*) via branch permissions, so only specific groups can effectively trigger deployments.

Relevant docs:

• Bitbucket Pipelines & deployments (Cloud)
• Permissions in Bitbucket Cloud

If this is critical for your setup, consider raising or voting for a feature request directly with the Atlassian support team

Hope this helps. 

Greetings, 

Alex
