How to Add a User to the Bitbucket Repository

Use this interactive demo to learn how to grant a user access to your Bitbucket repository.

Quick summary

Adding a user to a Bitbucket repository takes just a few clicks using the built-in Invite and Add Users or Groups controls. This guide walks through every step — from opening the right repository to confirming the correct permission level.


Steps

  1. On Bitbucket's main dashboard, select and open a repository.
  2. Tap the Invite button at the top-right corner.
  3. Click Add Users or Groups to proceed.
  4. Enter the name of the user you want to add, then select the account from the suggested results.
  5. Open the drop-down menu and choose your preferred access configuration.
  6. Tap Confirm to apply the changes.
  7. The new user will now be successfully added to your Bitbucket repository.

📌 Why this matters

Managing who can access your codebase is a critical part of any development workflow, and Bitbucket makes repository user management straightforward. Being able to quickly invite collaborators and assign the right permission levels — such as read, write, or admin access — ensures that teams can work securely without unnecessary friction. This process is especially valuable for organizations onboarding new developers, external contractors, or cross-functional contributors who need scoped access to specific repositories. Getting repository permissions right from the start reduces security risk and keeps project governance clean.
