BitBucket Cloud setup

Git host permission requirements

Flow only requires read access to your repositories. Flow needs this permission to process the metadata used to generate our reports.

The account used to connect Flow to BitBucket must have these read scopes:

• Repository
• Issue
• Pull Request
• Account

To connect via your BitBucket username and password:

1. Input your username and password, then click Test connection.

Two-factor authentication

Currently, two factor authentication is not supported via username and password logins.

If you try to connect via two factor authentication, you'll see an error message.

If your account has two-factor authentication enabled, you'll need to use an app password as your password.

Follow these instructions to create an app password (external site, opens in new tab) for your service account. When setting up the app password, select Read permissions for:

• Account

• Issues

• Pull requests

• Repositories

Finishing up

Once you have a successful connection, you can finalize your integration and begin importing repos as outlined below:

1. Click Next from the BitBucket Authentication Method screen.

   

2. On the next screen, select the services you want turned on. Then click Next. Leaving all three services on allows Flow to ingest repo, pull request, and ticket data. You can turn services on and off at any time.
3. Name your integration so you can identify the connected account. Then click Create.

   

4. Once you've successfully created a new BitBucket cloud integration, you'll see a success message.
5. If you see all the appropriate groups and projects under the Repos tab, Flow has the correct access to any repos associated with these projects. To begin importing repos, click the repo import page link.
