I have a team set up on bitbucket with multiple users, and I'm using the keyring extension for mercurial. I need to set up a subrepo, and in the .hgsub file I need to provide the url for the subrepo.

If I use https://bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then the user needs to authenticate each time they try to pull.

If I use https://userX.bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then each user will need to authenticate with userX's password.

If I use https://team.bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then each user will need the team's password.

Is there a way I can set it up so that the authentication can be saved using the keyring extension, but still have separate credentials for each user, without using ssh?

Yes, you can enter your authentication information into your config file. The documentation for this is here.

In the auth section of each user's config file you can enter the following details:

[auth]
bb.schemes = http https
bb.prefix = bitbucket.org/team
bb.username = userX

The bb part is just a tag to group the settings together - you can use what you like and you can have more than one set if you have more than one Mercurial server that you use.

The example settings say that all repositories that start http://bitbucket.org/team or https://bitbucket.org/team should use the username of userX. The keyring extension will take care of the password after that.
