We currently run Stash 2.3, and have a group called 'mergers' that is used to permission the master branch so that only certain users can push to master. Most of the time we keep this group empty until we do a release.
When it comes to doing a merge into master, we have to add a user to the 'mergers' group, and then remove them shortly after, once the merge is done.
My question is: is there a facility built into Stash to allow pull-request merges to take place using a different group of users to the one that sets the branch permission? Or to put it another way, only allow merges into branch X (master) via pull-merge requests in the browser only?
Thanks.
