# Merge request approval rules **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in [GitLab Premium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/39060) 12.8.
|
|
|
|
Merge request approval rules prevent users from overriding certain settings on the project
|
|
level. When enabled at the instance level, these settings are no longer editable on the
|
|
project level.
|
|
|
|
To enable merge request approval rules for an instance:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to **Admin Area >** **{push-rules}** **Push Rules** and expand **Merge
|
|
requests approvals**.
|
|
1. Set the required rule.
|
|
1. Click **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
## Available rules
|
|
|
|
Merge request approval rules that can be set at an instance level are:
|
|
|
|
- **Prevent approval of merge requests by merge request author**. Prevents project
|
|
maintainers from allowing request authors to merge their own merge requests.
|
|
- **Prevent approval of merge requests by merge request committers**. Prevents project
|
|
maintainers from allowing users to approve merge requests if they have submitted
|
|
any commits to the source branch.
|
|
- **Prevent users from modifying merge request approvers list**. Prevents users from
|
|
modifying the approvers list in project settings or in individual merge requests.
