Gerrit OWNERS Plugin - adding groups to OWNERS file

I use the owners plugin to add a list of developers as reviewers to a change automatically, so one of them have to approve it for the change to be committed.

Now, instead of changing the OWNERS file every time I need to add / remove a person to the list can I add a gerrit group to the OWNERS YAML file? I tried adding a group but it gets ignored.

This is the content of my OWNERS file.

inherited: true
owners:
- owners_Build_tools

It would be helpful to know if it is supported or if there is something wrong with my YAML file.

Use the reviewers plugin and save yourself the headache.

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/reviewers/

That plugin is just for automatically adding people to a review - but it doesn't effect who can/cannot +2 a review.

You can use the label code review -2/+2 permission to add any number of groups to have exclusive rights to +2 a review.

Just make sure you also mark the permission as exclusive so that only those groups can +2 a review.

It should look like this:
