I've seen a few questions from years back about applying permissions to restrict a user from accidentally creating a public repository, and they have been unanswered or the answer was that this is not possible in Bitbucket Cloud.
Is it still not possible to prevent users in a Bitbucket Cloud workspace from accidentally creating public repositories? The user group permissions selector I see only supports restricting whether a user can create a repository, not its privacy. Is the workaround to set the private flag on projects, and then ask that users not create new projects?
Thank you.
Hey Joseph,
Unfortunately, the ability to restrict the creation of public repositories is still in the works and is being tracked here:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-13050
Please feel free to "Watch" this ticket for future updates and "Vote" for it to increase its visibility with regard to customer demand.
At this stage - private projects will prevent users from creating public repositories within them. If you want to ensure users aren't creating projects - you can ensure that users are in the appropriate user groups (ie not given admin access to do so).
Cheers!
