This change divides the old forge identity section into three new sections, one for each of author, committer and server identities. The previous scale of permissions is now replaced by three individual permissions not dependant on each other. Some generic text about forging identities is copied to all three sections to increase the ease of use when using this page as a quick lookup reference page.

===========================================
|
|
|
|
Projects in Gerrit can be configured to require a link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] in
|
|
the commit message to enforce that every change is signed by the
|
|
author, committer or uploader. If for a project a Signed-off-by is
|
|
required and the commit message does not contain it, Gerrit rejects
|
|
to push the commit with this error message.
|
|
|
|
This policy can be bypassed by having the access right
|
|
link:access-control.html#category_forge_committer['Forge Committer'].
|
|
|
|
This error may happen for different reasons if you do not have the
|
|
access right to forge the committer identity:
|
|
|
|
. missing Signed-off-by in the commit message
|
|
. Signed-off-by is contained in the commit message but it's neither
|
|
from the author, committer nor uploader
|
|
. Signed-off-by from the author, committer or uploader is contained
|
|
in the commit message but not in the last paragraph
|
|
|
|
To be able to push your commits you have to update the commit
|
|
messages as explained link:error-push-fails-due-to-commit-message.html[here] so that they contain a Signed-off-by from
|
|
the author, committer or uploader in the last paragraph. However it
|
|
is important that you only add a Signed-off-by if you understand the
|
|
semantics of the link:user-signedoffby.html#Signed-off-by[Signed-off-by] and the commit applies to the rules
|
|
that are connected with this footer.
