Change Package Reviews Overview
A change package review is a review of changes by specified reviewers before the changes are committed to the server repository.
If change package reviews are mandatory globally, then all change packages must progress through the change package review process.
If change package reviews are mandatory at the project level only, then a change package only progresses through the review process if it contains at least one entry associated with a member in a project that requires a review. Change packages follow the review process before the changes are successfully committed to the server repository. All other change packages function as non-review change packages.
A change package reviewer is a user specified by your administrator to review change packages containing members associated with specific projects. The reviewer may be individually specified or a member of a specified reviewer group. In the case of a reviewer group, any member of that group casts an accept or reject vote on behalf of the entire group.
A change package watcher is a user specified by your administrator who is notified when a reviewed change package is closed after being successfully committed to the repository. Change package watchers may be individually specified or a member of a specified watcher group.
A super reviewer is a user with permission to vote on change packages, but who is not required to be a listed reviewer for the change package. Voting as a super reviewer overrides all other votes. For example, casting an accept vote as a super reviewer is sufficient for accepting the change package.
