Hello Ye,

if I remember right, you may define different permissions for repository collaborators in Gitlab. At least within organizations this is possible.

Hello Yena,

that depends how your git repository is set up. In GitHub (or GitLab)  
you may easily define read-only roles.  
When you use something like gitolite or plain git, it is possible to  
allow pull only for specific SSH keys as well.

However this is not really an Ansible question but depends on your git  
setup, so without further information the question is not easily  
answerable.  
Regards Mirko
