  • Requested group membership: ‘restricted’ and ‘analytics-privatedata-users’

I'd like to request membership for @NForrester to the ‘restricted’ and ‘analytics-privatedata-users’ group. The Trust and Safety team has a number of workflows requiring shell access and private analytics logs (hadoop). He is a member of the T&S team and requires those accesses for his regular work. Specifically some of the workflows he needs to be able to do (and needs this access for):

  • Run maintenance scripts (mwmaint servers) to:
    • To add or reset user email addresses when locked out of their account (again after identity verification)
    • To permanently remove illegal images from the servers
  • Lookup private information such as user email addresses for legal or T&S investigations (such as urgent threats of harm or court orders).
  • Query webserver logs for private information such as IPs which have viewed certain pages (usually court orders)

NForrester has already signed L3. @NNair is NForrester’s people manager. Naha, could you confirm/approve this request by commenting here?

This is one of three current requests to add a new wmf employee to both ‘restricted’ and ‘analytics-privatedata-users’. As the director of Analytics, we'd like your approval (or defer approval to someone in your team) to add this user to ‘analytics-privatedata-users’. Please comment with your approval or other information.

Maintenance use-case makes sense to me, approved!

@odimitrijevic, This is just pending your approval so I've assigned it to you to ensure visibility. Please comment and if approved, just remove yourself (so it is unassigned) and it'll be picked up by myself (if this week) or by SRE clinic duty next week. Thanks!

Hi, @odimitrijevic, this is a friendly reminder that this request (and other 2) are pending on your approval. Please take all time you need to review them, I just want to confirm you are aware of them and just need more time to attend them (sometimes phabricator notifications policies are strange or people may be on vacations, so I would search someone else on your team).
