Github: Allow force pushes to specific users/groups

Question

Is there any rule that can be configured on GitHub that restricts who can force-push? The way it looks right now is that any rule opened on any branch automatically prevents force-pushes to anyone (including administrators). I want to allow force-pushes to specific users/groups (e.g., administrators).

Answer 1

This is now actually supported on GitHub:
