Adding User Names with Acute Accents or Umlauts to Branch Restrictions

Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.

Summary

Typically to grant a user write access to a branch in Bitbucket Cloud, search for the user using their first and last name.

Searching for names with accents or umlauts using plain letters may not yield results. For example, searching for 'áchin' as 'achin' will result in no search results.

Solution

When searching for user names with acute accents or umlauts, please use the exact acute accent or umlaut letters. For example, to search the user 'áchin', the acute accent 'á' must be used when searching.
