* When a project is a mirror, setting "Protected Branch" and have no one allowed to push to the branch may cause issue with the mirroring. * This is intended behaviour: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/28227#note_215744881 * Workaround here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/28227#note_222173093 #### Notes * For now, this is specific to [Pull mirroring](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/pull.html). * No info about the "user" for pull mirror. * [MR about changing pull mirror user](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security/gitlab/-/merge_requests/473/diffs) * This info is important to explain why changing protected branch status matter * Probably need to create a separate issue to document the "user" for pull mirror * Still need to figure out how to reference this in protected branch. * Should cross ref to the mirroring info above Ticket: https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/368138
