Question

Restrict business developers accessing from mainline.

0

Hi Team, I have created an application and created 3 branch lines for 3 of my team members. After that I shared this app to my team. They are working as business engineer in their respective branch lines. But they can have access to the mainline. So they can also merge changes from the mainline without any merge request(MR) to me(Scrum Master). Is there any way to add the ‘Merge Request’ option in Mendix? And how to restrict the business developers to have access to the mainline? Because I dont wanna give access to them to merge from mainline without a merge request in my application.

Afaik you can not restrict access on a branch level in Mendix: if you have access to the code, you have full access. This means every developer is able to merge anything at any time and create branches. The way to manage this is by guidelines and procedures, so everyone knows your way of working.

In general i would recommend using branches only where technically necessary. Having a branch per developer would only be my first choice under very specific circumstances: merge conflicts are likely to arise and they may be tricky to solve.

With a team of three developers, working in the same branch would be my initial choice. This can work very well, as long as all developers test their work before committing.

I hope this helps.
