Make IP Info available to all users in the 'autoconfirmed' group on testwiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Motivation

IP Info currently requires one edit before the beta feature is available to them. This creates an extra step for users who we'll invite to test IP Info on testwiki. To mitigate this problem, we should make IP Info available as a beta feature to everyone in the 'autoconfirmed' group on testwiki.

Niharika created this task.

@Niharika Do the acceptance criteria need updating with the following?

  • Create a group for revoking all IPInfo rights using $wgRevokePermissions. This allows individual users' IPInfo rights to be revoked, and will be logged.
  • Revert T296085: Create a group that grants basic ipinfo* rights, since we are no longer granting IPInfo rights via a group.

Yes, I can add these. Thanks.

@dom_walden @imaigwilo Not sure if you want to test this separately - feel free to move to Done if not

I can confirm that "autoconfirmed" users on testwiki can access IPInfo (just the basic viewing rights).

On beta, when I added my autoconfirmed user to the "blocked from IPInfo" group, they no longer had access to IPInfo (either the popup, infobox or Special:Preferences).
