You can access security options at the repository using this way: Code->Explorer, then you have to Select a repository from the Explorer Now, in the repository details, click on the name of the repository Then Select "Manage repositories... menu" Now, you should be able to configure the rights of every contributor groups & individual users and the branches. "Rewrite" and Destroy History (allow for force push)
