== Requestor provided information and prerequisites ==
**This section is to be completed by the individual requesting access.**
* shell username: aikochou and kevinbazira
* Requested group membership: `deployment`
* Reason for access:
Recently permissions for Helm config files changed (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305729) to allow only members of the `deployment` group to read them, and some ml-team members not in it started to see permissions problems while deploying:
1) Permission in helmfile while using it, since the `HELM_CACHE_HOME` was not writable/readable anymore. This problem can be worked around exporting a new cache home directory for each user like explained in T307927#7920508.
2) Permission to read files under /etc/helmfile-defaults/private, ending up in wrong deployment actions/diffs (like removing Secrets etc.. because not readable anymore, see T307927#7921020).
If it was only `HELM_CACHE_HOME` the problem, we could have added another one for the ml-team use case, but since more helmfile config files are involved, the quickest solution seems to be to add ml-team deployers to the `deployment` group.
A more long term solution may be needed, but I'd prefer to allow members of my team to keep deploying right now without being blocked.
