branch permissions + repo permissions

[Steve Tractenberg]

Hello,

New to configuring branch permissions and a few questions. My team currently has admin or write permissions to a few repos and I see where to enter the settings for branch permissions for master. Ideally, we'd like to restrict access to commit directly to master and have it require a PR. But even though I specified no direct merging to master, I'm able to. Not until I remove admin and write permissions do I get blocked from committing to master.

So what's the correct way to implement this? What repo perms does my team get to do anything EXCEPT commit directly to master?

Do I need to create these repos with a special "admin" or "service" account instead of my account so that I don't have that access also?

Thanks a lot.

the problem was I configured branch permissions for "Master". Once I changed it to "master", everything is working properly.
