Can I limit the Stash pull request reviewer list to members of a specific group? Or force Embedded Crowd to sync only certain groups?

Scott Dudley [Inactive]

I have a Stash behind-the-firewall installation which is slaved to the JIRA user directory using Embedded Crowd. This particular JIRA instance has a lot of users in it, but very few have access to Stash.

When I create a pull request, the reviewer list dropdown contains all of the users in the Stash user directory, even though none of those users have access to Stash via global permissions (let alone any permission in the project or repository I am working on).

I want the reviewer list to be limited to only those users who have access to the target repo in the target project. How do I do this?

Alternatively, if I am stuck with Stash displaying everything, is there any way to convince Embedded Crowd to sync only a subset of the JIRA user database over to Stash?

Hi Scott,

In regards to:

Our development team is working to address this issue on the feature below. There is no workaround for that at the moment:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/STASH-3584
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/STASH-5053 - this one was closed as a duplicate of the above. So rest assured that this feedback has also been taken onboard.

In regards to:

"Alternatively, if I am stuck with Stash displaying everything, is there any way to convince Embedded Crowd to sync only a subset of the JIRA user database over to Stash?"

The workaround here is to configure filters for your external directories. Please refer to the documentation below for more help if you are using LDAP for user management:

• How to write LDAP search filters

I don't think you will be able to set up any filter for JIRA as User Management and in Crowd it is possible – you will be able to select which users are linked to the Stash account.

Which User Directory are you using?
