Add member with limited access permissions

Question

Hi to all,
Is it possible to add a member to a project but with limited view over the entire project?

The user could only have access and work in particular parts of the project without the possibility to download the entire code of the full project.

I can't find any articles on the subject.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Theodora Boudale

Thank you for the information, I was imagining that would be the solution.

Now the issue is selecting the right information to share and how to import it back to the main full development branch.

Best regards

Vasco

Hi @Vasco Martins,

Please allow me to step in as Norbert is out of office.

If a user has been granted access to a repository, they can clone/download the whole repository, there is no way to restrict that.

Branch permissions can prevent users from pushing to certain branches, however, they will still be able to clone the whole repository.

You can look into using Git Submodules:

* https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

Let's say you have repo A, with the code that only you can access.
You can create repo B, and make it a submodule of repo A. Repo B will also have only part of your code, and you can grant access to a developer only to repo B.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi Norbert,

I mean a project ongoing in Bitbucket repository.
Based on Configure a project's branching model I can give access to "feature" branch but the programer working on that branch has access and can download the entire code of the project right?
This is for me a security issue since I need a developer to work only in some features.
