### Create project-level rule
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/11877) in GitLab 12.3.
> - Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
WARNING:
The Vulnerability-Check feature, including the Vulnerability-Check attributes listed here, is in its
end-of-life process. It is [deprecated](../update/deprecations.md#vulnerability-check)
in GitLab 14.8, and is planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. Users should migrate to the new
[Security Approval Policies](../user/application_security/policies/#scan-result-policy-editor).
You can create project approval rules using the following endpoint:
```plaintext

```
**Parameters:**

| `report_type` | string | no | The report type required when the rule type is `report_approver`. The supported report types are: `vulnerability`, `license_scanning`, `code_coverage`. The `vulnerability` report type is part of the Vulnerability-Check feature, which deprecated in GitLab 14.8, and planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. |
| `scanners` | Array | no | The security scanners the Vulnerability-Check approval rule considers. The supported scanners are: `sast`, `secret_detection`, `dependency_scanning`, `container_scanning`, `dast`, `coverage_fuzzing`, `api_fuzzing`. Defaults to all supported scanners. Deprecated in GitLab 14.8, and planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. |
| `severity_levels` | Array | no | The severity levels the Vulnerability-Check approval rule considers. The supported severity levels are: `info`, `unknown`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `critical`. Defaults to `unknown`, `high`, and `critical`. Deprecated in GitLab 14.8, and planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. |
| `vulnerabilities_allowed` | integer | no | The number of vulnerabilities allowed for the Vulnerability-Check approval rule. Defaults to `0`. Deprecated in GitLab 14.8, and planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. |
| `vulnerability_states` | Array | no | The vulnerability states the Vulnerability-Check approval rule considers. The supported vulnerability states are: `newly_detected` (default), `detected`, `confirmed`, `resolved`, `dismissed`. Deprecated in GitLab 14.8, and planned for removal in GitLab 15.0. |

You can increase the default number of 0 required approvers like this:
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"name": "Any name", "rule_type": "any_approver", "approvals_required": 2}'
```
Another example is creating an additional, user-specific rule:
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"name": "Name of your rule", "approvals_required": 3, "user_ids": [123, 456, 789]}' \

> - Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
You can delete merge request approval rules using the following endpoint:
```plaintext
DELETE /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approval_rules/:approval_rule_id
```
**Important:** Deleting a `report_approver` or `code_owner` rule is not allowed.
These are system generated rules.
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|---------|----------|---------------------------|
| `id` | integer or string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of a project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The IID of the merge request |
| `approval_rule_id` | integer | yes | The ID of an approval rule |
## Approve merge request
> Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
If you are allowed to, you can approve a merge request using the following
endpoint:
```plaintext
POST /projects/:id/merge_requests/:merge_request_iid/approve
```
**Parameters:**
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|---------------------|---------|----------|-------------------------|
| `id` | integer or string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of a project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `merge_request_iid` | integer | yes | The IID of the merge request |
| `sha` | string | no | The `HEAD` of the merge request |

The `sha` parameter works in the same way as
when [accepting a merge request](merge_requests.md#merge-a-merge-request): if it is passed, then it must
match the current HEAD of the merge request for the approval to be added. If it
does not match, the response code is `409`.
