  <p>I would like for only 1 user to be able to push (force push and regular push) to a certain branch, and everyone else to not have permissions to push.</p>
  
  <p>These are the permissions I set (with my user listed under "Restrict who can push to matching branches". However, when I try to force push I get a branch protected error.</p>
