This sounds like a shell request for something in one of the analytics or statistics user groups. However, we will need a few things met before we can roll out shell access to someone. I'll put the checklist in the main task description, but it boils down to a few things:

SRE Clinic Duty Checklist for Access Requests

Most requirements are outlined on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_shell_access

This checklist should be used on all access requests to ensure that all steps are covered. This includes expansion to access. Please do not check off items on the list below unless you are in Ops and have confirmed the step.

• - User has signed the L3 Acknowledgement of Wikimedia Server Access Responsibilities Document.

This is required for ALL shell access requests.

• - User has a valid NDA on file with WMF legal. (This can be checked by Operations via the NDA tracking sheet & is included in all WMF Staff/Contractor hiring.)

@Braveheart: You'll need to work with your WMF sponsor (sounds like @Halfak would be the person for you to work with. They hsould be able to make the introductions to WMF legal for you to sign an NDA.

• - User has provided the following: wikitech username, preferred shell username, email address, and full reasoning for access (including what commands and/or tasks they expect to perform.

I'm guessing you'll be using the account 'braveheart' from wikitech for this. Just want to confirm since it wasn't stated. You'll also need to work with your sponsor or other WMF shell users to determine exactly what group(s) you need. It sounds like these are analytics groups, which are explained here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_access#Access_Groups

• - User has provided a public SSH key. This ssh key pair should only be used for WMF cluster access, and not share with any other service (this includes not sharing with WMCS access, no shared keys.)

You'll need to paste a public SSH key on to the task for use with your account. This should be a key dedicated ONLY to wmf production shell access (do not share with wmf cloud services or any other third party.)

• - access request (or expansion) has sign off of WMF sponsor/manager (sponser for volunteers, manager for wmf staff)

@Halfak or someone else who understands exactly what you are trying to accomplish will need to

• - non-sudo requests: 3 business day wait must pass with no objections being noted on the task

If your request isn't a sudo request, there is a 3 business day wait once we determine what access you want. (It isn't quite clear on this request at this time.)

• - sudo requests: all sudo requests require explicit approval during the weekly operations team meeting. No sudo requests will be approved outside of those meetings without the direct override of the Director of Operations.
• - Patchset for access request

So we'll need @Braveheart to work with wmf to get a NDA signed and determine exactly what kind of access is needed. I'm assignign this task back to @Braveheart for the above considerations/questions.
