branch level permissions

James Ching1

I'm testing the branch level permissions in Stash 2.0 but I must be missing something... I'm having trouble getting it to work, here's the setup:

Security Setup for 'testuser'

- Project Level Permissions: Observer

- Repository Branch Level Security: Write (Just to the available branch options, I tried the advanced as well with no luck)

Everytime I try to push the branch, i get:

fatal: remote error: Insufficient permissions

You do not have permission to push to the repository test in project

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

The 'testuser' can only write to the repository if I set it to Contributor at Project Level but then it can write to all branches. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Thanks for any hints!

Just to clarify branch permissions doesn't elevate the project level permissions it is more of a restriction. When you push changes to a repository first the project level permission is checked. This is the same as it was in Stash 1.x meaning the user must be a contributor (have write access) to the project in order for their push to proceed. Stash then checks the branch permissions for each branch which is being updated. If a restriction exists and the user doesn't have permission the push is rejected. If there is no restriction or they have permission the push is successful.
