Restricting access on directories under repositories

Question

Is there a way to set permissions to the directory level under the repository?

We have about 200 project teams in our environment, so we would like to have only 3 common repositories DEV, TEST, PROD for all the teams to contribute.

While under DEV we would have a directory created for each project to upload or to deploy code from CI.

I would like to restrict the creation of directories under DEV by normal users and by the CI systems, however, they should be able to create directories below their project directories.

Example:

DEV   
  |_ PROJECT   
            |_ _ BUILD 1   
            |_ _ BUILD 2

Here DEV is a REPO and PROJECT is the Project Teams directory and BUILD1 and BUILD2 are the builds of the Project.

I would like to restrict users to create any directory under DEV but they should be able to create directories under the PROJECT.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Of course there is. You need to use inclusion and exclusion patterns in the Permission Target.

Inclusion pattern DEV/PROJECT/BUILD1/**/*.* works as a whitelist, limiting the user or group to BUILD1 only.
