Okay, welcome back. In this demonstration, we're going to set up branch permissions to control who can do branching and merging. So the first thing we'll do is we'll jump into the account level settings. So we click on the avatar down the bottom, and then Bitbucket settings and then under Access Management we're going to setup some User groups. Okay, so under User groups we'll create three groups. The first one will be called BuildAndRelease into which I'll add myself, and I'll give myself admin privileges. Okay, the next one we'll create is called SoftwareDevs for developers into which we'll give write permissions across all current repositories, and into which we'll add AnnSmith whose a fictitious user that I've setup for demonstration purposes. And then, finally, we'll add in Testers, and into which we'll give read permissions only. Again, this time we'll add in JohnBrown, another fictitious user that I've created, JohnBrown user. Okay, so this is the user group structure that we've setup at the account level, and this is active now across all existing repositories within our account.
Okay, let's now jump back into repositories, and on our CADemo3 repository we'll update the branch permissions by entering settings at the repository level, and then under Workflow, under Branch permissions, we'll click Add a branch permission. So the permission we'll add is for any branch named Feature, and we'll use a wildcard so it matches any branch that begins with Feature, for example, Feature one, Feature two, Feature three. Write access we'll provide to SoftwareDevs and under Merge we'll also add in the BuildAndRelease group. Expanding Merge checks will ensure that at least one approval has been granted before the merge takes place, and then, finally, we'll save this. Okay, so that's established branch permissions and has completed this demonstration. So go ahead and close it, and we'll see you shortly in the next one.
