Remove shellmanagers group on wikitech
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Previously, users needed to be manually given the shell right, and the shellmanagers group had the right do so now. This is now handled automatically: When a user is added to a Labs project, the shell right is given. So the shellmanagers group makes no sense more and should be removed.

Event Timeline

If this is right, then I shall amend a couple of patches where this usergroup is present.

@bd808 I understand. Is the process at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Access_Request still needed then?

Thanks for the explanation, this is helpful. I'll amend my previous patches removing references to the shellmanagers, etc.

Regards.

Yes, that process is for getting membership in the Tools project. We have been talking a bit about changing the exact mechanics of how that process works (T72625), but it is still needed.

Now we have a patch for that, we can prioritize it a little bit more upper than low.
