Restricting source code

Source code viewing (reading) can be restricted by license type, repository access, and project visibility, but not by team level role. I'd suggest opening a work item if you require restricting by team level roles.

License type - remove their developer license and they will not be able to view source code at all
Repository access - some teams use separate physical repositories due to compliance. Also look into Distributed Version Control
Project visibility - you can have two projects on the same server, but place the source code under one of the projects with restricted visibility

Thanks. The options I don't believe will work easily for us. The people who cannot see the restricted code still will require developer access as they with with other source code. Putting it in a separate repository or project would require us to re-architect our source and build structures, which we would be unable to do in the short term.

I believe there is already a workitem open for this ... we were hoping it may be available in 3.0 but it looks like it is not.

Do you happen to have a link to the work item? I agree and think this should be added!

A couple of relevant work items:
- 118445: Provide read/write permissions at the file level
- 63844: Read and write permissions at the folder level

Cheers,
Geoff
