Can't merge Merge Request - Needs second approver

[jzip]

I'm attempting to following the Quick Start documentation (https://www.zuora.com/developer/quick-start/) and am hitting a bit of a blocker.

In order to push code to the test server, I have to create a Merge Request in GitLab, and merge it into the 'test' branch.

Unfortunately the GitLab server appears to be setup such that Merge Requests require at least one approver, and I'm unable to approve my own Merge Request. Since I'm not an admin, I have no ability to change this setting or create a second user for myself to approve with.

Any ideas on how we're supposed to deploy code to an environment without a second user to approve Merge Requests?
