Continous deployment trigger by commiter

Question

As we all know, we can make filters at releases i.e. to release only if a build succeeded with a commit in a specific branch.

Is it somehow possible to start a release, only if a specific person has made the commit?

Something like a continous release by author.

Thanks for any advice

As workaround, you can use 'Build.RequestedFor' build variable and custom conditions. You can skip jobs if user display name is not of your user. You can define a custom condition on the job level like the following (just update User_display_name to needed value):

Or as text:

and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.RequestedFor'], 'User_display_name'))
