Unable to add force-push permissions

[Jason Axelson]

Hi,

I have a configuration repository that I want to allow the ability for
certain users to do force pushes (non-fast forward). According to the
gerrit documentation I should be able to add a "Force Push Branch;
Delete Branch" permissions:
http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.1/access-control.html#category_pHD

However, in my gerrit project access control admin page I only see the
following permissions: Push, Push Merge Commit, Push Annotated Tag.
Granting all of those permissions still leaves me with the same error:

user@server2:~/config$ git push -f
Counting objects: 5, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 318 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Resolving deltas: 0% (0/2)
To server:server-config.git
! [remote rejected] hogg2 -> hogg2 (non-fast forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'rams-build-vm:server-config.git'

However, I can push up regular fast-forward commits to the repo. I've
also tried to add the following to the $gerrit_loc/git/server-
config.git/config file:
[receive]
denyNonFastForwards = false

Which I got from the http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn-history/r6481/documentation/2.2.0/error-non-fast-forward.html
gerrit page.

Does anyone know how I could allow force pushes?

Thanks,
Jason

Grant Push. To the right on the group line there is a Force flag.
Check it to true.

Thanks Shawn! I'm not really sure how I missed that.

Maybe force push is blocked on the parent project?

Hi Shawn,

I have created a git repo we use gerrit. I have given the all permissions to the user even I have given the owner permissions too. But still users are getting forbidden error / authentication error. May I know the reason ? Can you please help me on this. For your reference I am also attaching the screenshot of what permissions I have given to the user kindly check it and help me in this.

Thanks,

Mani.
