[p4] Limiting users ability to create new branches

[Jamison, Shawn]

Wouldn't that only work if they use a branch spec?

Wouldn't I have to parse the files section of a change list and validate
that the depot path is really a new branch?

Thanks

Sounds like you might want to use a form-in trigger on branches.  If you
see the name of a person in the development group, reject it.  See
Perforce's public depot ( http://public.perforce.com/public/index.html
)or the admin docs for more on triggers(
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.042/manuals/p4sag/06_scripting.html
).
