How to allow merge rights for a branch named release/<version>_<postfix>

[Lindenmann Markus]

Hi

I would like to set specific branch permissions as follows:

• we use a branching model having branches /release/<version>
• The repository allows merging only for specific super-users, all other users can only submit pull requests for all changes in this repository. The repo is used for product framework code where not everyone shall be allowed to merge to allow for proper reviews by super-users.
• One branch in that repository has been created from a release branch for a project with the name /release/<version>_<postfix> where postfix denotes the project.
• I have set project & branch permissions for a few additional users for this particular branch.
• These users are now able to approve PRs but still cannot merge.

The permissions are setup as follows:

My questions are:

• Is it possible to change the permissions of a branch with a name matching the pattern of another set of permissions (/release/xxx vs. /release/xxx_postfix)?
• Or do I need defining a branch not matching the branching model patterns?

Kind regards
