That made the trick, a new option appears at the end: "Override branch policies and enable merge".

This solution allows the author to also bypass policies such as unresolved comments and failing builds.

# How to skip reviewer for project administrator pull request?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-01-17)

Is it possible to configure the repository to skip "At least one reviewer must approve the most recent iteration" in case the person who performs the Pull request is the project administrator?

I have the below branch Policy:

I made the review approbation for my own commit.

But when I'm going to complete the pull request, I get the below message:

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/dyOwI.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/dyOwI.png)

> At least one reviewer must approve the most recent iteration.

It's possible to skip review requirement only for project administrators?

As a workaround, you can add "bypass policies" for project admins.
