## Group approval rules **(ULTIMATE)**
> Introduced in GitLab 13.9. [Deployed behind the `group_merge_request_approval_settings_feature_flag` flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md), disabled by default.
FLAG:
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available,
per group, ask an administrator to [enable the `group_merge_request_approval_settings_feature_flag` flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md).
The feature is not ready for production use.
Group approval rules are an in-development feature that provides an interface for managing
[project merge request approval rules](../project/merge_requests/approvals/index.md) at the
top-level group level.
The feature is limited to the user interface but the following merge requests extend the UI to:
-[Enforce group settings on projects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/69750).
-[Cascade group settings onto projects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/68476).
To view the merge request approval rules UI for a group:
1. Go to the top-level group's **Settings > General** page.
1. Expand the **Merge request approvals** section.
