Task name
ManualValidation
Task version
1
Issue Description
Input provided to the approvers attribute of the task does not appear to behave as expected (as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/manual-validation-v1?view=azure-pipelines). The email ids below have been provided for illustration only.
Issue: Not all members are able to approve
- task: ManualValidation@1
timeoutInMinutes: 180
inputs:
notifyUsers: |
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected]
approvers: |
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected]
allowApproversToApproveTheirOwnRuns: true
instructions: Testing the approval task in my pipeline
onTimeout: reject
Observations:
- Only [email protected] is able to approve the task.
- Users other than [email protected] see only a progress bar as shown in the screenshot below
- Users other than [email protected] have QueueBuild permissions and are project administrators as well
- The same input provided to the notifyUsers attribute works fine with all members receiving emails
- Azure devops group under the same project with a flat hierarchy of email id's also does not work i.e. if all the above email ids are placed in a group within the project. Specifying this as
approvers: '[MyDevopsProject]\MyGroup'
does not work too.
