咨询移除Patchset中他人评审标记所需的权限及配置

Got it, let's break down who can clear that stuck -2 vote on your patchset—since the reviewer is unreachable and it's blocking submission, this is exactly what you need to know:

Roles with Permission to Remove Votes #

• Instance Administrators: The top-level admins of your entire code review instance (like Gerrit) have full authority to modify or delete any review votes across all projects. They’re the surest bet if you can’t reach the original reviewer.
• Project Owners: Users designated as owners of the specific project your patchset belongs to typically have the power to manage review votes within their project scope. This includes removing votes left by other contributors.
• Custom Groups with Configured Permissions: If the project’s access controls have been set up to allow it, members of specific groups can also delete others’ votes. This is a configurable setting rather than a default role.

Specific Configuration Steps (If You Need to Set This Up) #

To grant vote-removal permissions to a group (beyond admins/owners), adjust the project’s access settings:

1. Go to the project’s Access tab in your code review tool.
2. Locate the Delete Vote permission under the Code Review category.
3. Assign this permission to the target group. You can restrict it to specific branches or apply it across the entire project, depending on your needs.

Where to Find More Details #

Check your instance’s built-in documentation (look for the help section in your code review tool) for deeper info under sections like:

• "Project Access Controls"
• "Code Review Permissions"
• "Administrator Guide: Managing Review Votes"
