Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

Your Azure DevOps project hosts a Git repository. The main branch is protected by branch policies that require a successful CI build and at least two reviewers before pull requests (PRs) can be completed. A small group of release managers must be able to occasionally finish urgent PRs into main without waiting for these checks. No other user must be able to bypass the policy. Which branch permission should you set to Allow for the release-manager group and explicitly Deny for all other groups?

Bypass policies when pushing
Force push (rewrite history)
Contribute to pull requests
Bypass policies when completing pull requests

Report Issue

Answer Description

The permission that overrides branch policies during the PR completion process is "Bypass policies when completing pull requests." Granting this permission to release managers lets them complete a PR without satisfying reviewer or build requirements. Setting the same permission to Deny (or leaving it Not set) for all other groups ensures that nobody else can circumvent the branch policies. "Bypass policies when pushing" applies only to direct pushes, not PR completions. "Force push (rewrite history)" allows history rewrites but does not affect policy checks. "Contribute to pull requests" lets users comment or vote but does not override policies.
