Gearset introduced a separate permission that allows team owners to control which user(s) can create releases in team-shared Pipelines.
To find the permission:
Navigate to Pipelines & CI job page, and select your team-shared Pipeline by clicking this button:
located next to the Pipeline name.
Under Users select Edit pipeline users
You'll then see a checkbox to allow
All users with access to this pipeline can create releasesbelow.
If “All users with access to this pipeline can create releases” is ticked, then any user who has access to this pipeline can create releases.
If you only want a smaller set of users to create releases, untick the checkbox and then grant the permission to those specific users.
If you want only specific users to create releases, then select “Create and add to releases” from the dropdown next to their name.
If the intention is to allow only a subset of users to add PRs to the release, then you can select “Add to releases” from the dropdown next to their name.
Check out the below sample video for navigating to the Team shared CI job in a pipeline to give access to releases.
