Hi All,
We're working on testing instances of FAS for storing our user/group membership information used by the CBS. I'd like to talk about group naming and the permissions model to get some input. The goal is to get these discussions going so we can set up our test environment to mirror what we'll roll out in production. Consider this a proposal, and please send comments my way (on-list please!).
Groups will use the convention 'sig-<shortname>', for example: people in the Cloud SIG will be members of the FAS group 'sig-cloud'. This convention will allow push access in dist-git to any branch that starts with sig-cloud (sig-cloud7, sig-cloud7-openstack, sig-cloud7-openstack-juno) and grant build permissions under the SIG tags in Koji[0].
FAS has 3 types of membership in a group: Admin, Sponsor, and User. All 3 levels will be granted commit/build permissions, while only Admins and Sponsors can modify members of the group.
To match our permissions model[1], I propose: - We populate the 'Accounts' (Global Admin) group with the members of the CentOS Board. - The Board member responsible for each SIG will create the appropriate SIG group in FAS - The Board member will add him/herself as an admin of the group - The Board member will sponsor the SIG Chair as a sponsor for the group - From then on, the SIG Chair and Board member can sponsor others into the group as users (and optionally add more sponsors to the group)
Anyone have thoughts? Once we reach consensus, I'll get this written up for the SIG wiki page.
Cheers! Brian
