<p>I have a pull request policy on my repo which requires at least one member of the <code>devs</code> group reviews and approves any change before it is merged in to master. I'd like to be able to specify additionally that any files changes under the <code>sql_scripts</code> folder require a member of <code>dbadmin</code> group to review and approve. </p>

I have a pull request policy on my repo which requires at least one member of the `devs` group reviews and approves any change before it is merged in to master. I'd like to be able to specify additionally that any files changes under the `sql_scripts` folder require a member of `dbadmin` group to review and approve.

Can this be done in Azure Devops using either the UI or the API?

Yes you can do this under branch policies.

From the GUI navigate to **Repos**-> then in the hamburger menu **branches**-> then select your master branch and then ... on choose **Branch Policies**. [Like so](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/branch-policies?view=azure-devops#configure-branch-policies)

Then from the branch policies page scroll down and find the **Add Automatic Reviewer** button and set a **path filter** based on the folder.
