+* `dismissal_apps`: (Optional) The list of app slugs with dismissal access.
 * `require_code_owner_reviews`: (Optional) Require an approved review in pull requests including files with a designated code owner. Defaults to `false`.
 * `required_approving_review_count`: (Optional) Require x number of approvals to satisfy branch protection requirements. If this is specified it must be a number between 0-6. This requirement matches GitHub's API, see the upstream [documentation](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/branches/#parameters-1) for more information.
 * `bypass_pull_request_allowances`: (Optional) Allow specific users, teams, or apps to bypass pull request requirements. See [Bypass Pull Request Allowances](#bypass-pull-request-allowances) below for details.
