I am a paying customer, but to be honest it's not worth the trouble to setup a meeting as my time is limited. I recommend improving the documentation and error codes, since what I am trying to do is not unusual and I have done this kind of thing with P4Admin (Perforce administration software) without issue.

This apparently doesn't work. I removed the user from the developers group and added him to another group that doesn't have permission to check in the main branch. When he opens Plastic SCM it gives this error.

Under "Prevent users from modifying any item on certain branches" it has a new Group with the ci permission removed. I've gone ahead and created a new group in a similar way. However, the developer is currently under his original group which does have that permission. How do I move him to the new group? In the cloud interface my only option is to invite him by email address to the new group, which is odd as this shouldn't be a voluntary decision on his choice. Also, if he does accept the new group and I remove him from the old group, is it going to require him to redownload the repository or lose access to work in progress?

I have a junior developer who made a series of bad checkins to the mainline while I still had work in progress not yet checked in. Question 1: How do I checkin myself, while skipping his bad checkins as if they were never commited? Question 2: How can I restrict this developer's permissions so he is no longer allowed to check into the main line?

Using the cloud server, I have a programmer overseas who can't download the entire repository because the download keeps failing before the end. He doesn't need 80% of the assets the obvious solution is to exclude most of the art directories from the download. He and I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to only download part of the repository, and we gave up and I told him to use Gluon instead of Plastic SCM. The only reference I could find is https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/distributed/plastic-scm-version-control-distributed-guide.shtml which is incredibly confusing to me. It seems like this should be a very common use case and explained a lot better. Even Perforce is easier, where I can just setup my workspace mapping to exclude certain directories. Is there some tutorial on how to download only part of the repository, that a new user can understand?
