Bitbucket integration permissions

Question

Hi there!

I was trying to connect Compas with bitbucket but I halted when I saw the required permissions.

I was wondering why does Compass need the "Delete repositories" permission and worried of potential issues with this.

Is it really necessary?

Thank you!

Hi Josh, thank you for your reply!

I would really be more encouraged to test Compass without the delete permission required, specially considering that the tool is still in Beta phase and according to what you mentioned, that future needs may require creation and modification of repositories only.

I will be paying attention for future updates!

Hey Pau, Josh here from the product team. Currently, Compass does not perform any operations to delete or modify any of your repositories - it only reads information. We have future use-cases in mind that require creating and modifying repositories but that functionality does not yet exist. We’ll evaluate our current scopes and determine if we can tone it down a bit but no guarantees we will remove any of the permissions at this time. But again, we don't do any delete operations today! Hope this helps, I've also added a note to update our docs.
