Repositories belong to a personal account (a single individual owner) or an organization account (a shared account with numerous collaborators or maintainers). For more information, see "[Types of {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} accounts](/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts)." Owners and collaborators on a repository owned by a personal account can assign pull request reviews. Organization members with triage permissions can also assign a reviewer for a pull request.
|
|
|
|
To assign a reviewer to a pull request, you will need write access to the repository. For more information about repository access, see "[Repository roles for an organization](/organizations/managing-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/repository-roles-for-an-organization)." If you have write access, you can assign anyone who has read access to the repository as a reviewer.
|
|
|
|
Organization members with write access can also assign a pull request review to any person or team with read access to a repository. The requested reviewer or team will receive a notification that you asked them to review the pull request. If you request a review from a team and code review assignment is enabled, specific members will be requested and the team will be removed as a reviewer. For more information, see "[Managing code review settings for your team](/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/managing-code-review-settings-for-your-team)."

{% note %}
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Pull request authors can't request reviews unless they are either a repository owner or collaborator with write access to the repository.
|
|
|
|
{% endnote %}
|
|
|
|
You can request a review from either a suggested or specific person. Suggested reviewers are based on [git blame data](/articles/tracking-changes-in-a-file/). If you request a review, other people with read access to the repository can still review your pull request. Once someone has reviewed your pull request and you've made the necessary changes, you can re-request review from the same reviewer. If the requested reviewer does not submit a review, and the pull request meets the repository's [mergeability requirements](/articles/defining-the-mergeability-of-pull-requests), you can still merge the pull request.
