    Hi hernandezpaulms ,

     

    Yeah, I’ve run into this same issue before. The current role setup can be a bit limiting when it comes to branching. One thing we tried was having a small group of trusted devs with elevated roles who could help manage branches for others — kind of like branch gatekeepers. Not perfect, but it helped avoid giving full admin access to everyone.

    Pre-creating workspaces for each dev sounds like a nightmare to scale, especially if your team grows or changes often. Another idea might be to use automation (like pipelines or scripts) to handle branch creation based on requests — keeps things controlled but still flexible.

    Curious to hear what others are doing too!
