Update e-mail for staff accounts at wikimedia.se
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It was discovered that many staff accounts are set up with the non-staff e-mail (e.g. where password reset requests go). We should do an inventory of current staff and board accounts and ensure they all point to @wikimedia.se addresses.

This is also a good opportunity to remove/restrict any old accounts that still have access.

This should not happen before T202420: Follow up on possible server failure/intrusion is resolved as that will likely involve reverting the database.

Result
Email addresses changed to *@wikimedia.se for three accounts. Roles have been removed from all accounts except those we agreed should keep theirs. It turned out that some of the accounts that we decided should keep their roles, did not have any roles assigned. This has not been changed.

Event Timeline

This is true for at least me and Axel so likely everyone (from our generation at least) is affected.

@Evelina-Bang-WMSE Can I ask you to do this? (once T202420 is resolved)

There are 45 accounts, 30 which has a role assigned to them allowing various kinds of editing. Suggestion right now is to remove roles from all except current employees, admin accounts and chairman.

Of those proposed to be kept, three needs updated e-mail addresses. Can we change the addresses without affecting login?

Email should only be used for password reset so should be fine to change without affecting the existing user login.
