Write access for (mirror) Deployment Keys?

[Malte Stretz]

We mirror an Open Source project in Bitbucket. Right now it is updated manually but I just went to set up the cron job for updates. While doing so I noticed that Deployment Keys are restricted to Read access while in our Stash installation I have the Read/Write option available.

Is that option somehow available in Bitbucket, too, or do I have to create a separate user for the mirror updates? The latter wouldn't be a big problem, just another account we have to keep track of.

We only offer read-only deployment keys. The best option in this case is to create a new user.
