# Self Review Prevention

Enable or disable self-review prevention. When self-review prevention is enabled, users are prevented from being assigned as reviewers for rows that relate to their own access and permissions.

## Parameters

The value can be either an integer or string:

* `SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_DISABLED` = 1 (or `"SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_DISABLED"` as string)
* `SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_ENABLED` = 2 (or `"SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_ENABLED"` as string)

An optional `workflow_id` parameter allows configuring self-review prevention per review configuration, overriding the global setting for that configuration. When `workflow_id` is omitted, the request reads or writes the global setting.

## Examples

**Example using string value (global):**

```json
{
    "value": "SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_DISABLED"
}
```

**Example using integer value (global):**

```json
{
    "value": 1
}
```

**Example enabling self-review prevention for a specific review configuration:**

```json
{
    "value": "SELF_REVIEWER_CHECKING_ENABLED",
    "workflow_id": "8ae1c414-3a76-46cb-950a-925316b3f264"
}
```

When a `workflow_id` is provided on a GET request, Veza returns the configuration-specific setting if one exists, or falls back to the global setting.

**Example GET request (per review configuration):**

```bash
curl -L -X GET 'https://your-organization.vezacloud.com/api/private/workflows/access/global_settings/self_reviewer_settings?workflow_id=8ae1c414-3a76-46cb-950a-925316b3f264' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN'
```

**Example cURL request (global):**

```bash
curl -L -X PUT 'https://your-organization.vezacloud.com/api/private/workflows/access/global_settings/self_reviewer_settings' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "value": 1
  }'
```

**Example cURL request (per review configuration):**

```bash
curl -L -X PUT 'https://your-organization.vezacloud.com/api/private/workflows/access/global_settings/self_reviewer_settings' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "value": 2,
    "workflow_id": "8ae1c414-3a76-46cb-950a-925316b3f264"
  }'
```
