Default admin rights

ITDev

Hi,

when a repository is created, the user is granted administrative rights to the repository by default. This allows you to individually change the settings that are set at the project level for the repository itself. Is it possible to disable these permissions by default?

@ITDev It is not possible to prevent the user who creates a repository in Bitbucket (both Cloud and Data Center/Server) from having admin rights to that repository. The creator is automatically assigned as the repository administrator by default and there is not a way to change this.  You can remove the ability for a user to create a repository which will prevent them from become a repository admin.
