Is there any plan to open the `cancel` button permission to allow contributors to terminate the `matrix` build job? Not only is it harmless, it also saves travis resources. ---

Hi, hi @asdf2014! Right now, this is not on the roadmap, but it’s got an internally tracked issue… I linked your comment ([here](https://github.com/travis-pro/post-its/issues/118) for Travis CI folks) and will let you know if/when it’s added. In the meantime, I just wanted to say, I do really like the idea, though I’ll have to scope out the complexity of that change - we get the permissions for who can cancel builds based on who has write/push access to a repo, and it should be a simple things to split this out – question is (a) am I right? and (b) verifying the UX works in other cases as well. ---

> [@acnagy](#): > > based on who has write/push access to a repo It needs to be more than just people with write/push access to a repo. If I submit a PR, I should be able to cancel the builds _for my PR_, even though I don’t have access to the destination repo. I know when I have made a mistake or I’m about to submit a follow up commit to the PR. Please let me cancel builds that are no longer needed for my PRs. In other words, it would be people who have write/push access to the source branch/repo that the PR is coming from, not just the oeople with write/push access to the repo that is receiving the PR (and that triggered the Travis build).
