How to restrict write access to only one branch for specific user

[rl_beka]

Hi,

on Bitbucket Cloud our developer team has admin access to all repositories in our workspace.

Now there's a new developer and we only want to give him write access to one specific branch in one specific repository.

I haven't used branch restrictions yet - how do I have to configure them to achieve this restriction?

Thanks for any help -

Hi @rl_beka

Welcome to the community.

The provide access to the user in a specific repo, you can either create a group in your workspace to achieve this or simply go to your repository settings and add the user.

Unfortunately, there's no option or feature to restrict specific users from accessing specific branches, however, what you can do is restrict branches on who can merge to those branches.

For example: In repoA with branches, dev, staging, and prod, you can create branch permissions for staging and prod where only admins can write and merge to those branches.
