Document account requirements to edit Phabricator projects (maybe that's #Trusted-Contributors now? Or also #WMF-NDA?)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

See e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263725#6623793 - any idea which form that is? I'd like to see documented what to do in such situations, as this isn't the first time. I support tightening restrictions but users need to be able to understand why this happens and what to do in such cases (request getting added to Trusted-Contributors? Or to acl*Project-Admins? Or something else?), and things need to scale (a clear process to add people who are in Project-Admins also to Trusted-Contributors or such?).

Aklapper renamed this task from Some folks cannot edit Phabricator projects for unclear reasons to Document account requirements to edit Phabricator projects (maybe that's #Trusted-Contributors now? Or also #WMF-NDA?).Nov 22 2020, 2:07 PM

@Aklapper: that doesn't refer to a specific form, it means that there are no forms where that user satisfies the form "visible to" policy.

The general form would be https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/transactions/editengine/projects.project/edit/9/

Can required permissions please be clarified and documented in a section on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects , so that our processes are less disruptive and scale (I received another personal email of someone who wanted to change the description of a Phab project "but it seems like I don't have the correct permissions. What's the usual process for this?") ?

Thanks a lot in advance!
