[Mageia-sysadm] updating sysadmin privileges in forum config

Wed Mar 21 14:57:13 CET 2012

Hi there (xpost sysadmins and forums-discuss lists),
+
+following the steps in
+https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/council/2012-03/msg00115.html I'm going to
+update the forums groups for sysadmin members. The culprit is that
+it's not in sync with LDAP so far, so it's to be manually updated.
+
+Targetted situation:
+ - forum _technical_ management people => sysadmin (includes updating
+the code base, reviewing and applying patches)
+ - forum administration (roles, configuration, all that can be done
+through the Web interface, interfacing with sysadmin) => someone still
+to step up
+ - we don't touch to user-defined groups by default (although I'm not
+sure Packagers/Sysadmins ones are really needed/used - they are not in
+sync either - but this should be dealt with future forum)
+ - we use the Administrators group to manage who gets to fully manage
+the forums (there's an extra higher level for that, but not accessible
+to anyone at this time). Sysadmin members are members of this group.
+I'm reviewing the steps to do that (I will most likely kill the
+Sysadmins group and copy the forums users from the LDAP sysadmin group
+into this Administrators group).
+ - this is for forums.mageia.org/en/ ; forums.mageia.org/de/ should be
+managed in the same way, but we need someone to relay the discussion
+in German.
+
+Comments?
+
+r.
