# Merge request approvals **(PREMIUM SELF)**
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/39060) in GitLab 12.8.
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
Merge request approval rules prevent users from overriding certain settings on the project level.
When enabled at the instance level, these settings [cascade](../project/merge_requests/approvals/settings.md#settings-cascading)
and can no longer be changed:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
- In projects.
- In groups. Cascading to groups was [enabled by default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/285410)
in GitLab 14.5.
To enable merge request approval settings for an instance:

## Available rules
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
Merge request approval settings that can be set at an instance level are:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2021-12-11 22:18:48 +05:30
- **Prevent approval by author**. Prevents project maintainers from allowing request authors to
merge their own merge requests.
- **Prevent approvals by users who add commits**. Prevents project maintainers from allowing users
to approve merge requests if they have submitted any commits to the source branch.
- **Prevent editing approval rules in projects and merge requests**. Prevents users from modifying
the approvers list in project settings or in individual merge requests.
