Bump on this. I'm on a hangout with @Wwes right now trying to show him some stuff but don't have access. :-(

@damons can you help unstick this blocker for Wes and me?

So it looks like we have around 980 domains, x 2 if we want https for them all. We've been looking for a way to add them that doesn't require going through the web browser one site at a time because that would take... well, a ridiculously long time. Didn't find anything in the google webtools api yet.

While we wait for a simple non tedious manual solve, how about we start with these for wikipedias:
en, de, zh, ru, it, es, fr, ja, pt, tr, nl, pl, ar, ko, hi
and wikipedia.org

These represent our top 20ish by mobile standard and also cover the core desktop languages and regions.

Just would love access to those as a start. Longer term solve of more granular can become individual requests later.

Thanks.

I've added you both to all of these where you weren't on them already, but only for http. Google now has a cap on the number of domains (1000) and we are over that, the cap must have been introduced recently. I"m adding @dr0ptp4kt to ask if the sitemap entries are still in use or whether we can toss some of them.

Team, I have received approval for the access request from Lila Tretikov.

@ArielGlenn, regarding the domain capping, would you create a new tracking ticket on that? I'll follow up on email about that.

adding @Jalexander because i know he knows about the 1000 domains limit. He mentioned it to me.

Hi, i logged in to get this done and when I checked the first 2, en and de, i noticed both addresses, swest@ and stu@ had already been added. So i assume somebody has already resolved this just the ticket did not get updated, right?

Best,

Daniel

I added them to http and not https, as I mentioned in an earlier comment. But the ticket is not 'done".

So we need to find 15 sites we can delete to replace them with the 15 missing https versions of en, de, zh, ru, it, es, fr, ja, pt, tr, nl, pl, ar, ko, hi ?

@ArielGlenn - sitemap.wikimedia.org/* entries can be safely removed, making it possible to make room for those top 15 https://<lang>.wikipedia.org entries plus both http://www.wikipedia.org/ and https://www.wikipedia.org/ entries.

Removed all the sitemap.wikimedia.org entries. We are now down to 636 entries.

@akosiaris did you happen to find an automated way to do that, for example with https://developers.google.com/site-verification/v1/ and https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/v3/quickstart/quickstart-oacurl?

It seems like for the moment if the goal is to mass add delegated read-only access to a particular user the only way to automate that would be with a Selenium script or something to that effect. Any other ideas?

And meanwhile we have yet another request to get access here for @Ironholds T101157

The latter. But for now it has not worked for adding domains, but has worked for deleting them, hence my comment. For some reason oacurl seems to fall into some endless loop when using PUT to add a domain.

I have found 0 ways to delegate access to a user (read-only or otherwise). Perhaps an automation script based on selenium or otherwise would work

Let's give Stu the missing 15 https sites and resolve this ticket, then discuss automating the process as a separate thing.

I added these missing ones with https:// )(or thought i would). For some reason every single one already had 2 owners, noc@wikimedia and abaso@wikimedia.

I added swest@wikimedia to them.

and wes please

Yes, and Wes, please :)

I do recommend adding the https://www.wikipedia.org/ and http://www.wikipedia.org/ domains for the two as well.
