Permission required so users can add Required Reviewer to Pull Requests

Members of my team sometimes need to add required Reviewers to their pull requests to ensure that a certain person actually performs the review.

We have a policy where a group of developers is automatically added to the pull request, which for 99% of the time is fine, but sometimes we need to add an extra person or 2.

There isn't a permission that is standing out explicitly showing which setting to use.

Any clues would be good

Looks like you are talking about this option. Some users are lacking it.

It's a new Pull Request Experience for Azure Repos. It should be the same permission to remove a required reviewer from Azure Devops

When you want to remove that required reviewer from the Automatically include code reviewers, you need to make sure someone who has the permissions to Edit policies (Project Administrators) to

enter image description here

Note: You need to check the Branch policies of the branch which you want to merge, for example, you merge from Dev to master, you need check the Branch policies of the master branch.

Then, after remove that required reviewer, you could go back to your pull request and click the X button:

So it should be the same let somebody to make required for reviewers. Try to assign them edit policy permission.

Hope this helps.
