Hello,
I have a couple of questions about Public Repositories.
We have a public repository, and it seems that anyone in the world (with a Bitbucket account) can Approve or Request Changes on an open PR.
1) Is it possible to have a public repository but only have our internal users (users who have been granted access to our Bitbucket and then project/repository) as our only reviewers where only they can approve/reject and merge?
I understand that public users can not merge PR, but we got a request for the public logged-in Bitbucket user not having the capability to review (Approve/ Request Changes/decline and so on). Is that even possible?
2) When assigning reviewers is it possible to only have our internal users as reviewers (and only for internal users to show up in the user picker list?) Or the reason we get a public list of users in the user picker list is driven by the fact that this is a public repository?
3) When our repository is set to private all of our internal members show up in the Reviewers User picker list, when the repository is set to public many of our internal users don't show up in the Users picker list when I search them up (including the ones that did show up when the repo was set to private). does anyone know why that is happening?
Thank you,
Valeria
Hi Valeria,
The nature of a public repository is that the repository is accessible by anyone with few restrictions. I have raised a feature request on your behalf with our developers to provide this option, you can Watch this request to receive future updates related to it and Vote for it to improve its visibility:
I believe the issue you are facing related to users not showing up depends on their privacy settings. Previously, when you signed up for a Bitbucket Cloud account - your account would be associated automatically with a personal workspace (this was used for authentication). If these users have a personal workspace tied to their account this personal workspace may be listed as "Private" and therefore are incompatible with a Public workspace for this reason.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
