@Vgutierrez thanks, I updated with a new SSH key. Let me know if this is adequate, and thank you

All good :) waiting for @GEscalante-WMF approval and from @Ottomata || @odimitrijevic

@MRaishWMF your user mikeraish is already part of the analytics-privatedata-users with no SSH key (access to that group can be configured in different ways depending on what data/tool needs to be accessed).

Your request above is for:

Requested group membership: private-data

What exact access are you requesting?
Is this just a request to add an SSH key to your existing user?
Please refer to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_access for additional guidance on what access you'd like to request.

Dzahn reassigned this task from Vgutierrez to MRaishWMF.

@MRaishWMF as asked, are you just wanting us to add your SSH key to your account? Seeing as you're already part of the analytics-privatedata-users group, the access is already granted. Since we don't know what specifically you're trying to do, we don't know if SSH is necessary.

Thank you!

Hi @BCornwall, sorry for the delay and thanks for the ping. Yes, I had intended to add an SSH key to my account to facilitate some analytics tasks. Sorry for the confusion, as I didn't know that I also had access granted via analytics-privatedata-users permissions.

Thank you!

@MRaishWMF Thanks for replying! Please note that we follow the Principle of least privilege so we'll need to know exactly what you'll be needing SSH access for. If you could provide that information and also update the ticket description with it that'd be fantastic.

@odimitrijevic it'd be good to also get further confirmation that SSH access is needed since this is newer information.

Thanks all!

@BCornwall thanks again. I anticipate needing to SSH into stat machines in order to access Jupyter Lab and run spark queries. I'll update the task description accordingly.

Ok reached out to user on slack to confirm ssh key after which I will add for them.
