== Requestor provided information and prerequisites ==
**This section is to be completed by the individual requesting access.**
* Wikitech username: nskaggs
* Email address: nskaggs@wikimedia.org
* SSH public key (must be a separate key from Wikimedia cloud SSH access): ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIJrQktvFtYDgqDLSijTL+6ot1XyAAR31hlFMTZGKTc5o
* Requested group membership: global-root
* Reason for access: I've have tried to stick with WMCS level root access to better understand limitations and advocate for WMCS volunteer access. Over time, I found frequent blockers that prevented my ability to perform needed tasks. Typically this has resulted in asking someone else for help, or getting carve outs to run specific commands (for example, cumin access to run specific cookbooks). This was helpful for me to understand and the limitations I encountered helped raise the access levels of those in similar circumstances, including volunteers. However, trying to help with an Unbreak now level task today, resulted in me not having access to cloudb and dbproxy nodes needed to help. {T337446} Given the potential for critical tasks to recur, it would be helpful to simply have global root.
See T258438 for previous request.
* Name of approving party (manager for WMF/WMDE staff): Kate Chapman
