  • Requested group membership: ‘restricted’ and ‘analytics-privatedata-users’

I'd like to request membership for @KLevan to the ‘restricted’ and ‘analytics-privatedata-users’ group. The Trust and Safety team has a number of workflows requiring shell access and private analytics logs (hadoop). She is a member of the T&S team and requires those accesses for her regular work. Specifically some of the workflows she needs to be able to do (and needs this access for):

  • Run maintenance scripts (mwmaint servers) to:
    • To add or reset user email addresses when locked out of their account (again after identity verification)
    • To permanently remove illegal images from the servers
  • Lookup private information such as user email addresses for legal or T&S investigations (such as urgent threats of harm or court orders).
  • Query webserver logs for private information such as IPs which have viewed certain pages (usually court orders)

KLevan has already signed L3. @NNair is KLevan’s people manager. Naha, could you confirm/approve this request by commenting here?

@odimitrijevic, This is just pending your approval so I've assigned it to you to ensure visibility. Please comment and if approved, just remove yourself (so it is unassigned) and it'll be picked up by myself (if this week) or by SRE clinic duty next week. Thanks!
