Why Is a Message Displayed Indicating Not Authorized When Merging an MR?

Symptom

On the MR details page, when a user clicks Merge, a message is displayed indicating no permissions.

Analysis

You must have the Push and Merge permissions for the target branch.

Solution

• If the target branch is a common branch, check whether you have these two permissions. If not, contact the administrator to add the permissions.
• If the target branch is a protected branch, go to the Settings page, choose Policy Settings > Protected Branches, and check whether you have the Push and Merge permissions. If not, contact the administrator to modify the branch configuration.
