Summary

Users with the Reporter role are not able assign a reviewer to an MR.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add user to be a member of a project with the Reporter role (either as a direct member of the project, a member via the Reporter role in an upstream subgroup or group, or even using the Share a group with another group feature)
2. As this Reporter user, try to assign a reviewer to an existing MR in the project, or alternatively, create a new MR and try to assign a reviewer.

What is the current behavior?

Reporter users can't see the edit buttons within the UI to add/change the reviewer of an MR. The /assign_reviewer quick action also won't appear or be usable.

What is the desired behavior?

Reporters should be able to assign a reviewer to an MR as indicated in the current Role permissions matrix.

When this issue was originally raised, there was a mistake in the Role permissions matrix which implied that Reviewers should have permissions to assign MR reviewers. This was incorrect and has since been fixed per - !139546 (merged) + #364702 (comment 1690617159)

In this case, this issue is now intended as a feature request to allow users with the Reviewer role to assign MR reviewers.
