Set user permissions

Question

Apologies if I will be unclear in my explanation, but I am not yet abreast with the source control stuff.

So far I have always worked on my own on a project; a friend of mine is now joined.

I've created a branch from him, but I am not sure how I can setup permissions in a way he can read-write only on his branch (assuming this is possible) thus leaving me the control to "merge" the code once approved.

Is this possible in BitBucket?

Thanks

Andrea

Did test the solution, but now it asks my password too, and it doesn't accept the one I use to log in in BitBucket. Any reason for this?

Thanks John, that was the article I was looking at

Hi Andrea!

As mentioned by Seth, we recommend that you do this at Bitbucket, as described in https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Branch+management. This will allow you to prevent your team-mate from pushing to specified branches and instead require her to file a Pull Request to ask you to merge her code.
