Default Git repository and branch permissions

Contribute: At the repository level, can push their changes to branches in the repository. Does not override restrictions in place from branch policies. At the branch level, can push their changes to the branch and lock the branch.

Note Management: Can push and edit Git notes to the repository. They can also remove notes from items if they have the Force permission.

Tag Creation: Can push tags to the repository, and can also edit or remove tags if they have the Force permission.

Administer: Delete and rename repositories: If assigned to the top-level Git repositories entry, can add additional repositories. At the branch level, users can set permissions for the branch and unlock the branch. The Administer permission set on an individual Git repository does not grant the ability to rename or delete the repository. These tasks require Administer permissions at the Git repositories top-level.

Rewrite and destroy history (force push): Can force an update to a branch and delete a branch. A force update can overwrite commits added from any user. Users with this permission can modify the commit history of a branch.
