Restrict who can dismiss reviews in rulesets
GAVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026
You can now restrict who can dismiss pull request reviews directly in GitHub repository rulesets. This capability is generally available and gives you precise control over who can clear an approval before changes merge. The setting lives alongside the other review options in the Require a pull request before merging rule.
