software development version control
Dear Experts
We have software development resources 3 users we have asked them to do development on the development server once the changes are accepted then they can commit to the production server. we are using BitBucket repository for version control, have following doubts
Production server administrator privileges of the application is disabled but development server administrator credentials are enabled so that they develop, in this case is it recommend project manager will be as admin for the Bitbucket and once the developer develops and testing is done and user is accepted from the development server then project manager will execute the commit changes so that production server is updated, please suggest the best practice

Best practice would be to have your developers branch off what you are deploying to your production servers. When there fixes/changes are approved they merge back into the master branch. I recommend using Git if you are not. Once those changes are merged in. Use something like Bamboo to package up your changes and have them pushed to your production servers. Hope this helps.
