I am David's manager and I confirm his business need for this access. Thank you!

@DLynch For the record: are you a permanent employee of the foundations and thus have a NDA on file?

have you read? https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_access_guidelines

@DLynch Could you please look at @Nuria's comment above ? Thank you.

@Nuria I am indeed a permanent employee of the foundation, and believe that I have a NDA on file.

(Sorry, I was taking some vacation last week, and missed the question.)

+1 to access. Please read throughly: https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_access_guidelines what is the data @DLynch is interested on?

Also, does @DLynch have shell access set up to [production, see my question on: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224029

I'm interested mainly in analytics data logged in relation to Editing products (the EditAttemptStep and VisualEditorFeatureUse schemas).

I do not currently have production shell access.

@DLynch Ok, you need to get shell access to prod before this access is granted, let us know when that is done.

So, as far as I know, we're currently talking on a ticket which was created through all the "new users" steps stated on the request-shell-access document, and as far as I knew what I was doing here was requesting new production shell access with access to the analytics-privatedata-users group. Did I need to instead make two separate tickets for this? If so, it's not very clear in the documentation.

EDIT: Sorry, or are multiple people acting on this ticket simultaneously? I don't really know the process involved here. 😁

I am putting this on the Visual Editor board to keep an eye on progress.

@DLynch Sorry the process is not more clear, requesting production access is a pre-requirement to get access to data, tickets for that type of access are filed per user: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_shell_access

After shell access is granted you can file access for analytics systems (which are a subset of production) . This is the document that explains the process, please improve: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_access

UI tools such us turnilo do not require production shell access (they are used by many others besides developers) , to get access you just need to be an employee with an nda on file: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Systems/Turnilo-Pivot#Access

Let's see, not really, per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_shell_access there is a lot missing in the ticket you reference, normally tickets are filed per user, as you need to include your public key, also needs to be tagged with SRE-Access-Requests , please take a second look, not sure if there might be yet another ticket where ssh keys were set up but it doesn't look like it
