title: How to limit who can merge code on a pull request in bitbucket?
body: <p>I have a small team of developers that use bitbucket as our git repository.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know how to limit who can merge code on a pull request in bitbucket? AND/OR force at least one approval before the merge can be done. Basically I am looking to force a code review.</p>
  
  <p>As of now the creator of a pull-request (and everyone else) can not only approve but also merge the code in which can be an issue for quality purposes. Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Bitbucket now allows for control over push permissions, branch deletion, and history re-writing. The full management instructions are here: <a href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/branch-management-385912271.html" rel="noreferrer">https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/branch-management-385912271.html</a></p>
  
  <p>There still is not a way to force a minimum number of approvals however.</p>
