Take control with branch permissions in Bitbucket Cloud
May 17, 2019Kelvin Yap

Summary
This post introduces and details the configuration of branch permissions in Bitbucket Cloud. It explains how to set up permissions for specific branches or branch types, control write access, merge access via pull requests, and leverage merge checks (approvals, unresolved tasks, passed builds). It also highlights the integration with branching models for automated permission application and the Premium plan features for preventing merges with unresolved checks and resetting approvals on source branch modification.
