How can I permit a non-admin user to remove verification by Jenkins )Non-Interactive user).

[Gaurav Negi]

Dear All,

    If there a way I can give a non-admin group permission to remove Verified label by Jenkins user?

I am using Gerrit 2.11.

Thanks

Yes, add the group to the "Remove Reviewer" permission.

Note, they'll be able to remove *any* votes; not just votes by Jenkins, so I would suggest guarding this permission carefully.

Dear Gerrit experts,

   Can you please answer this?

I have verification by Jenkins added to a repo.

In some rare cases, I want to give some users (nonadmin users, tech leads users), verification access, so that they can kill jenkin sverification and give their own, so the commit to go through.

I created a new group for that and gave that group Verification access. However that group is not able to remove the verification by Jenkins, that way the commit is not going through.

Can anyone please suggest, whats the solution for this, other than giving admin access to those users?

Thanks

Gaurav,

To the best of my knowledge that right is only granted to project owners
and Gerrit administrators.

What about to change from "function = MaxWithBlock" to "function = MaxNoBlock" in the "Verification" label configuration?

See: https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.12.2/config-labels.html#label_function

Hi,

to remove a vote you need to grant the "Remove Reviewer" permission.

Alternativly you can grant the "Verify(on behalf of)"  permission, then they can vote in the name of jenkins (via rest api only)
