# Commit credit

When you use P4 Code Review to commit a review, but you are not the review's author, P4 Code Review gives credit to the review author by default. Activity stream entries and email notifications include both the committer and review author's details.

If you make a configuration change, P4 Code Review will not use it until the configuration cache has been reloaded, this forces P4 Code Review to use the new configuration.

You must be an admin or super user to reload the P4 Code Review config cache. Navigate to the User id dropdown menu, select System Information, click the Cache Info tab, and click the Reload Configuration button.

If you prefer P4 Code Review's original behavior, which was to give credit only to the committer, you can do so by editing the `SWARM_ROOT/data/config.php` file and setting the `commit_credit_author` item to `false` in the `reviews` configuration block. For example:

    <?php
        // this block should be a peer of 'p4'
        'reviews' => array(
            'commit_credit_author'  => false,
        ),
