Description

For Access requests for LDAP groups.

Note that some LDAP group membership (e.g. wmf, logstash-access, etc) is not requested via Phabricator but instead via Wikimedia IDM at https://idm.wikimedia.org. See the full list of LDAP groups managed in Wikimedia IDM.

Please include:

  • Username: (The username of your existing LDAP account on https://idm.wikimedia.org or https://gerrit.wikimedia.org .)
  • Shell access: Yes/No (Whether you currently have shell access).
  • Purpose: (Specify which service you need to get access to, e.g. Icinga, Grafana, Superset etc).
  • Group: (The specific group you want to be added to - optional).
  • Contract end date: End date of contract (Contractors only)
  • Contract contact: Contact person for the contractor (Contractors only)

Refer to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP/Groups for documentation on what each LDAP group is for.

I can confirm the BarryTheBrowserTestBot account is now inactive in Gerrit. From the All-Users.git database:

hashar added a comment to T388662: Disable BarryTheBrowserTestBot LDAP account.

As part of this task I found out that the logic to ban an account in Gerrit was not migrated from the wikitech-l MediaWiki hook to Bitu. Blocks were ineffective. I went to implement support for blocking users in Gerrit by porting the PHP code to Python. This was done via T390070

WMDE-leszek added a comment to T406106: Grant Access to wmde and nda for Maria Lechner WMDE.

not that my opinion matters but I support @Dzahn's point

This specific type of request has become standard for WMDE staff afaict. A custom form for it would probably be helpful. So that it's clear for clinic duty and the new WMDE staff doesn't have to worry about the details.

This ticket is mostly a duplicate of T405917 now. (but don't worry about it too much, not a big deal, it is being handled either way)

But they are saying no ssh needed.. so we can safely assume they mean the lowest of the 3 levels.

@Maria_Lechner_WMDE: Hi, which documentation were you following creating this ticket? Asking as WMF-NDA-Requests is not the right project tag, LDAP-Access-Requests feels more relevant. So there might be some docs to improve. :)

The docs say membership in wmf should be enough to log into superset. Can you not log into it?

Or can you log into it but this request is specifically about seeing more private data including PII ?

@EMill-WMF You do not have shell access (and for this type of request it doesn't actually matter much or at all for us, aware the template asks you for it though).
