Make branch protection on default branch editable within a feature service instead of the EGDB

There are two options for managing your default branch.

Option A: you make the default branch protected.
Option B: you make the default branch public.

The issue I have with this is that you make this choice on database level. Ideally it would be possible that a Feature Service X has the default branch protected but Feature Service Y has the default branch on public.

Summary: select per geodatabase feature service to set the default branch to protected or to public.
