Not able to add reviewer in pull request

Viewed 474

I'm using Azure DevOps with free Subscriptions and currently when i tried to add reviewers in one of my project, it always fails with below error.

Failed to create pull request: The reviewer user@gmail.com does not have permission to view this pull request

Already user user@gmail.com added under Project settings > Permissions > Project Administrators group.

Project administrators permission is not sufficient to deal with pull request?

Did you assign a Basic license to the user? Every subscription has 5 Basic licenses for free. Follow the steps below if you have not done that yet:

  1. Go to https://dev.azure.com/orgname
  2. Click on Organization Settings
  3. Go to Users and on the right hand, click Add Users
  4. Select Basic license
  5. Under Projects, choose your project and give the user Project Administrator permission.
