how to exclude bamboo from branch permission rule

IanYifanChan

Hi all,

I have configured branch permission for my repo, which will prevent pushes to master branch, meanwhile I added some service users like the Bitbucket user it uses to merge changes into master...

The issue is:

when bamboo completed tests on master branch which has merged in some auto upgrades in bamboo server, it will try to push the updated master branch back to repo's master branch, but it is blocked by branch permission.

My question is:

What is the user name the bamboo is using to push back to master branch, as long as I get the name, I can add it to exclusion list, but I can't find it. Anyone can show me how to get this Please?

In Bitbucket Server, it is possible to configure Bamboo as an exception to the branch permission rules.

This can be done using the Access Key that Bamboo adds to Bitbucket Server when a repository or a branch is added to a plan.

For example, if you want want Bamboo to be able to write to the master branch directly while all other users can only do that via a pull request, you can define the Branch Permissions in this way in Bitbucket Server:

The value in the "except by" field corresponds to the Access Key that you can find in the repository settings in Bitbucket Server:

This feature is available since Bitbucket Server 4.14.0 as announced in the Add access keys to branch permissions blog post.

Hello Ian,

Please, go to Bamboo and in your plan branch uncheck push from merging option.

Hi Rafael,

But we need bamboo to push the branch back to repo after a successful run, it is our auto_upgrade process which will pull merge the upgrade parts into master in bamboo and push the new master branch back to repo.

Hi guys, could anyone give me a response?

You cannot whitelist this event, the checkbox mentioned in the merge option is what allows Bamboo to communicate with Bitbucket server and for the push to be made. Alternatively, you can run a Script task to do the merge, providing the user who is going to to the merge.

Is there anyway to define a Bitbucket user specifically for Bamboo to use to push? So that I can add the user name into exclusion list...

rsperafico

Without unchecking the [ ] push checkbox in Bamboo, no. As already mentioned, this event is internal to both application and by checking the push checkbox you are allowing Bamboo to push against Bitbucket and this is the only moment Bamboo will push against your repositories as a security measure.

So if you want to prevent push from happening, uncheck the [ ] push checkbox and create a script task to communicate with your repository and do the merge.

Please, refer to the following for further information:
