Repo variables without Admin

[Ming Han Chung]

Why do you need full admin rights to be able to change repo variables? Is there a way around this?

[ktomk]

You need full admin rights because they affect all pipelines in the repository and therefore all users.

As an alternative you can hard-encode the variables in a pipeline step and/or source them from environment files you share with the repository. This can be controlled by any member of the team that can also push.

Only scheduled pipelines from a branch a user has no access to might not be possible to change there.
