Azure Devops - Approve own PR when I am required reviewer


I am using Azure for development. I want to be informed on every PR and approve it myself, since all others are very new to the project. So I set myself as required reviewer. I don't want developers to approve their own PRs. So I think this is where the trouble starts.

I cannot complete my own PRs as it still shows "Approval from required reviewer missing" - altough I clicked "Approve" and am listed in the approvals. Is this because I forbid requesters to approve their PRs themselves?

Did anyone else have this problem?

Cheers, Georg


Solution

  • Found it myself :D

    When adding a required reviewer, you must tick "Allow requesters to approve their own requests". This allows only the required reviewer to do so.
