How allow a user to clone a repository but avoid a user to login to https://bitbucket.org/dashboard/

[Julio H.]

Hi, Is there any way to avoid a user to login to https://bitbucket.org/dashboard/repositories

But allow him to clone a repository if has permissions?

thanks

Yes, if the user has permissions they can clone without using the website. They will need to know the repository URL or workspace ID + repository slug.

Here is some additional documentation for cloning repositories using git: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/setting-up-a-repository/git-clone

Thanks, I know they can clone with the url but what i want to avoid is to they be able have access to the repository in bit buckets dash board where you can see the commits, download it, etc.

If someone can clone a repository, then they have access to view the commit history. By cloning a repository, they are downloading it to their computer. That is how git works and not unique to Bitbucket Cloud.

A user cannot have read access to clone a repository without having read access to the repository on the Bitbucket website - the same information (the git repository) is on the computer that cloned it and the Bitbucket website.

The types of access a user can have are read, write, or admin. There are also more specific types of rules that can be configured at the branch level.

Does that help?

[Julio H.]

Yes that answer my question. 

I wanted something to avoid to them access to the bitbucket webside.

Where can we suggest things?
