Bitbucket

For repositories stored on Bitbucket, the bitbucket backend allows CMS users to log in directly with their Bitbucket account. Note that all users must have write access to your content repository for this to work.

To enable it:

1. Follow the authentication provider setup steps in the Netlify docs.

2. Add the following lines to your Decap CMS config.yml file:

   backend:
     name: bitbucket
     repo: owner-name/repo-name # Path to your Bitbucket repository
   

Client-Side Implicit Grant (Bitbucket)

Bitbucket stopped supporting the OAuth implicit grant on February 27, 2026, so auth_type: implicit no longer works. Use the authentication provider setup above instead.
