Access issue for golson-wmf
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

@GOlson-WMF is trying to submit a patch in Gerrit. They have a success message when checking the SSH connection via ssh -v -p 29418 golson-wmf@gerrit.wikimedia.org. However they get this error when trying to push up patch:

Their shell name in idp.wikimedia.org and this config says greyolson, but the (uneditable) Username in Gerrit says golson-wmf. I notice mine consistently says tsev in these places, so I think there may be a mismatch somewhere.

Which exact command they are using? The error suggests they're trying to publish a branch to the repository instead of submitting a patch for review?

No, it's because they have signed up for two developer accounts and are using those inconsistently in different places: https://ldap.toolforge.org/user/greyolson https://ldap.toolforge.org/user/golson-wmf

Ah, thanks! That fixed it.

Good to know, sorry about that. I assume we should keep greyolson since that's in the config. Do we need to take any steps to delete the golson-wmf account?

It can be disabled once you've migrated to the greyolson account everywhere. Note that Gerrit requires email addresses to be unique, so you'll need to change the email for golson-wmf (using the Gmail +something syntax is enough) before you can start using greyolson on Gerrit.

Do you have details on what / how we should migrate? This is their first patch so hopefully there shouldn't be much to do.

Good to know. We noticed they can login with GreyOlson in https://idm.wikimedia.org/ but the same username and password doesn't work in Gerrit. Maybe this is why.

Thank you for the help! I will leave this open if you don't mind, in case we have more questions. We're going to wait to work on account deletions until after their patch is merged.
