Preventing unwanted branches

Post by Brody » Sun Aug 19, 2007 11:14 pm

How can I stop developers from branching shared objects.

I have given them only read access to the folder but they are still able to branch a shared object. Is this as planned?

I would have thought readonly would be, well, readonly. Branching sounds a little changy to me. I need the developers to access the folder but not be able to accidently branch shared code.

Thanks

If you have R access on a folder, you can still branch it, since branching does not affect that specific folder, only the folder you branch to.

Branching needs RCA rights, so you could change default user rights to RC -- but this would prevent users from Adding and Deleting as well.

I'll log a feature request for more fine-grained folder security options.
