Who can override an approval for a Release Stage in Azure Pipelines?

Question

I just created my first CI-CD pipeline with approvers for a release stage. I noticed that I can override the approvers and I was trying to figure out who else can override. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find much information about this. So I guess my questions are:

1. Was I able to override because I am the owner of the release pipeline?
2. Was I able to override because I am the owner of the release?
3. Can a Release Admin override the approver?
4. Can a Project Admin override the approver?

Answer 1

Based on my test, the users who have the Administer release permissions can override the approver.

1. Select the specific Release Pipeline => Security
2. Select the specific User/Group then set the Administer release permissions to Allow.
