Just want to mention: this model [each user have their own account, and access shared repos] is the historical model with vcs [sharinv via unix group permissions] And we migrated to ssh key management as superior -and abandoned the previous model. Firstly because the repos were at mcs - and accounts were not easy for non mcs folks - and then not dealing with groups was nicer. And when petsc.cs.iit as deployed [eventhough I could easily deal with user accounts and groups]- it was preferable to stick with ssh key model instead of user account model. [with the aversion we gradually developed for maintaing multiple accounts/multiple paswds all over]. Now we are back to the original model of user account - and access via this account [yes - bitbucket makes it easier to crate accounts, and hopefully better infrastrucutre than 'group permission' for sharing underneath. [well atleat there is a gui to it]. Satish
