About Review Administration
The Review Administration page displays all Open Reviews and all Canceled Reviews.
To access this page in Codebeamer, click the Review Administration menu item under Review Hub. You will be redirected to Codebeamer X to use this feature.
The Review Administration menu item is visible if you are part of the group that is assigned the Review Administration group permission and the Enable Review group permission by your system administrator.
On this page you can also acquire the moderator role for open reviews. There could be pending reviews where the assigned moderator is not available. So the review administrator can acquire the moderator role to move the review forward as per the review process.
For more information, see the following:
