Temporary accounts: Remove users who were autopromoted from the temporary-account-viewer group
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Summary

Ensure that users who were autopromoted into the temporary-account-viewer group are removed, so that they need to reapply via the process of manual approval as outlined in T325451

Background

  • As noted in T325451, we are no longer autopromoting users into temporary-account-viewer, in favor of manually assigning the right
  • This is essentially a reset, so we want to remove users on the pilot wikis who were autopromoted into the temporary-account-viewer group, and ask them to manually apply for access, if they need it

Technical notes

  • We'll likely want a maintenance script for this. The script should identify users who were autopromoted into the temporary-account-viewer group on pilot wikis, and should remove the users from that group with a log message referencing this task

Acceptance criteria

  • A maintenance script exists for removing users from the group
  • The maintenance script has been run in production

We can't use that script because it does not leave a log entry to explain what it did.

The script is now updated, thank you @Dreamy_Jazz!

@Niharika @sgrabarczuk what should the log message say? Should it link to a page?

We ran this script a couple of days ago (@kostajh ran it), and I've verified that there are no members in the temporary-account-viewer group on any wikis with temporary accounts enabled.
