How to let the API merge back into a branch with branch restrictions

[Marijn Achterkamp]

Our pipeline wants to merge back hotfixes to main automatically. This fails however because main has merge restrictions so only specific people can merge to main. So as I cannot seem to set the API 'user' to the allow list for merging, How do I let the pipeline merge back to our main?

Hi @Marijn Achterkamp,

You might want to have a look at BCLOUD-22400.

You might also be interested in the Bitbucket addon we provide. It has specific support for the kind of merge cascade workflow you’re looking to implement - see example here.
