This is a list of additional access new deployers need before they're able to **do** a deployment.
* Get shell and deploy access in production, see
** [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Production_access | Request shell access]] (Note: This requires signing the [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_NDA#Privileged_LDAP_or_shell_access volunteer | NDA access ]] or being a WMF staff member/contractor)
** See ''e.g.'': {T104546}
* Gain access to merge changes in wmf deploy branches by being added to the [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/#/admin/groups/21,members | wmf-deployments ]] gerrit group
* Join the [[https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/ops | operations mailing list ]] (`ops@lists.wikimedia.org`)
** This is because announcements that could impact how and/or when to deploy things are primarily sent there.
