			#### Repository Owner
			The Repository Owner has the special permission of being able to edit a repository through the web UI. The Repository Owner is not permitted to rename the repository, delete the repository, or reassign ownership to another user.

			### Access Restrictions and Access Permissions
			![permissions matrix](permissions_matrix.png "Permissions and Restrictions")

			#### Discrete Permissions (Gitblit v1.2.0+)

			Since v1.2.0, Gitblit supports more discrete permissions. While Gitblit does not offer a built-in solution for branch-based permissions like Gitolite, it does allow for the following repository access permissions:

			- V (view in web ui, RSS feeds, download zip)
			- R (clone)
			- RW (clone and push)
			- RWC (clone and push with ref creation)
			- RWD (clone and push with ref creation, deletion)
			- RW+ (clone and push with ref creation, deletion, rewind)

			These permission codes are combined with the repository path to create a user permission:

			RW:mygroup/myrepo.git

			#### Discrete Permissions with Regex Matching (Gitblit v1.2.0+)

			Gitblit also supports regex matching for repository permissions. The following permission grants push privileges to all repositories in the mygroup folder.

			RW:mygroup/[A-Za-z0-9-~_\\./]+

			#### No-So-Discrete Permissions (Gitblit <= v1.1.0)

			Prior to v1.2.0, Gitblit has two main access permission groupings:

			1. what you are permitted to do as an anonymous user
			2. RW+ for any permitted user

			#### Committer Verification

			You may optionally enable committer verification which requires that each commit be committed by the authenticated user pushing the commits. i.e. If Bob is pushing the commits, Bob must be the committer of those commits.

			How is this enforced?

			Bob must set his user.name and user.email values for the repository to match his Gitblit user account BEFORE committing to his repository.
			<pre>
			[user "bob"]
			displayName = Bob Jones
			emailAddress = bob@somewhere.com
			</pre>
			<pre>
			git config user.name "Bob Jones"
			git config user.email bob@somewhere.com
			</pre>
			or

			git config user.name bob
			git config user.email bob@somewhere.com

			If the Gitblit account does not specify an email address, then the committer email address is ignored. However, if the account does specify an address it must match the committer's email address. Display name or username can be used as the committer name.

			All checks are case-insensitive.

			What about merges?

			You can not use fast-forward merges on your client when using committer verification. You must specify --no-ff to ensure that a merge commit is created with your identity as the committer. Only the first parent chain is traversed when verifying commits.

			#### Usernames
			### Usernames
			Usernames must be unique and are case-insensitive.
			Whitespace is illegal.

			#### Passwords
			### Passwords
			User passwords are CASE-SENSITIVE and may be plain, md5, or combined-md5 formatted (see `gitblit.properties` -> realm.passwordStorage).

			#### User Roles
			There are two actual roles in Gitblit: #admin, which grants administrative powers to that user, and #notfederated, which prevents an account from being pulled by another Gitblit instance. Administrators automatically have access to all repositories. All other roles are repository names. If a repository is access-restricted, the user must have the repository's name within his/her roles to bypass the access restriction. This is how users are granted access to a restricted repository.
			### User Roles
			There are four actual roles in Gitblit:

			- #admin, which grants administrative powers to that user
			- #notfederated, which prevents an account from being pulled by another Gitblit instance
			- #create, which allows the user the power to create personal repositories
			- #fork, which allows the user to create a personal fork of an existing Gitblit-hosted repository

			Administrators automatically have access to all repositories. All other roles are repository permissions. If a repository is access-restricted, the user must have the repository's name within his/her roles to bypass the access restriction. This is how users are granted access to a restricted repository.

			NOTE:
			The following roles are equivalent:

			- myrepo.git
			- RW+:myrepo.git

			This is to preserve backwards-compatibility with Gitblit <= 1.1.0 which granted rewind power to all access-permitted users.

			### Personal Repositories & Forks

			Personal Repositories and Forks are related but are controlled individually.

			#### Creating a Personal Repository
			A user may be granted the power to create personal repositories by specifying the #create role through the web ui or through the RPC mechanism via the Gitblit Manager. Personal repositories are exactly like common/shared repositories except that the owner has a few additional administrative powers for that repository, like rename and delete.

			#### Creating a Fork
			A user may also be granted the power to fork an existing repository hosted on your Gitblit server to their own personal clone by specifying the #fork role through the web ui or via the Gitblit Manager.

			Forks are mostly likely personal repositories or common/shared repositories except for two important differences:

			1. Forks inherit a view/clone access list from the origin repository.
			i.e. if Team A has clone access to the origin repository, then by default Team A also has clone access to the fork. This is to facilitate collaboration.
			2. Forks are always listed in the fork network, regardless of any access restriction set on the fork.
			In other words, if you fork RepoA.git to ~me/RepoA.git and then set the access restriction of ~me/RepoA.git to Authenticated View, Clone, & Push your fork will still be listed in the fork network for RepoA.git.

			If you really must have an invisible fork, the clone it locally, create a new personal repository for your invisible fork, and push it back to that personal repository.
