How do I grant Git 'ForcePush' permissions for pushing bfg-repo-cleaner results to VSTS? : <p>A person in my company who's an admin on the company's VSTS project created a repo for me, and granted me all permissions on the <code>master</code> branch.</p>

<p>Now I need to run <a href="https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/" rel="noreferrer">BFG Repro-Cleaner</a> on my repo. It worked great locally, but when I tried to <code>git push</code> my mirrored clone, I got:</p>

<pre><code>! [remote rejected] user/&lt;someone_else&gt;/&lt;branch&gt; -&gt; user/&lt;someone_else&gt;/&lt;branch&gt; (TF401027: You need the Git 'ForcePush' permission to perform this action. Details: identity &lt;my identity&gt;, scope 'branch'.)
! [remote rejected] refs/pull/&lt;number&gt;/merge -&gt; refs/pull/&lt;number&gt;/merge (TF401027: You need the Git 'ForcePush' permission to perform this action. Details: identity &lt;my identity&gt;, scope 'branch'.)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://&lt;repo&gt;'
</code></pre>

<p>What permissions should I ask my admin to grant me so I can complete this? How would she do that from VSTS web UI?</p>
