Protected branches API (FREE)
Introduced in GitLab 9.5.
Valid access levels
The access levels are defined in the ProtectedRefAccess.allowed_access_levels
method. Currently, these levels are recognized:
0 => No access
30 => Developer access
40 => Maintainer access
60 => Admin access
List protected branches
Gets a list of protected branches from a project as they are defined in the UI. If a wildcard is set, it is returned instead of the exact name of the branches that match that wildcard.
GET /projects/:id/protected_branches
Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id |
integer/string | yes | The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user |
search |
string | no | Name or part of the name of protected branches to be searched for |

Example with user / group level access (PREMIUM)
Elements in the allowed_to_push
/ allowed_to_merge
/ allowed_to_unprotect
array should take the
form {user_id: integer}
, {group_id: integer}
, or {access_level: integer}
. Each user must have access to the project and each group must have this project shared. These access levels allow more granular control over protected branch access.
