Gerrit remote branch ownership

Question

I have been using Gerrit for a while now however I could not figure out somthing about remote branches.

I would like to set Gerrit settings so each person that uses the repository may create a new remote branch in Gerrit and in addition, only that person will be granted owner permission to that specific branch.

With that for example, he will be able to force push only to that branch.

I hope this is possible and someone will be able to explain me how to do it.

Thanks

You can use ${username} as variable in ACLs, see the sandbox examples here .

This would allow you to provide defined refs/branches that contain special permissions for every user (eg refs/heads/${username}/* to allow branches in the form of username/whatever )
