SRE Clinic Duty Confirmation Checklist for Access Requests

This checklist should be used on all access requests to ensure that all steps are covered, including expansion to existing access. Please double check the step has been completed before checking it off.

This section is to be confirmed and completed by a member of the SRE team.

  • - User has signed the L3 Acknowledgement of Wikimedia Server Access Responsibilities Document.
  • - 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.)
  • - 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)
  • - 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.)
  • - access request (or expansion) has sign off of WMF sponsor/manager (sponser for volunteers, manager for wmf staff)

This was completed back in October 2018 when I was hired (T207951) but the recent audit (T237696) seems to have removed me from the deployment group, due to not having deployed in the last 2 years (technically true, but I had only been with the foundation for ~1.3 years at the time of that task's completion).

Also, it would have been great if there had been an e-mail or something to notify me of the access change, since it looks like the audit list was of a reasonable size and this should have been possible. It looks like there was an attempt to subscribe people to the task in order to notify them, but I was not subscribed for some reason, perhaps due to my shell username not matching my Phabricator username.

Also the phab template for these requests has a typo in the checklist:

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

Sponser should be sponsor.

Thanks!
