Giving a user administrator privileges
The process for giving a user administrator privileges is quite manual. A script to do this would be nice.
Checklist:
- Follow Making changes to the LDAP database, add the user's username to
uk/tardisproject/groups/timelords
by adding amemberUid
record. This will give administrator in a variety of services, such as sonic-screwdriver. - Add a mail redirect in LDAP in
uk/tardisproject/aliases/sysmans
&uk/tardisproject/aliases/hello
by adding amailDrop
. - Invite them, as an admin, to the 'Timelords' group on Vaultwarden. Admin Console → Members → Invite Member. The user may need to follow a process to create an account. Ensure to give them access to past passwords, not just new additions.
- Give them administrator on GitLab.
- Help them setup their SSH config to SSH into internal VMs.
- Give a brief tour of the infrastructure, explain the new options available on sonic-screwdriver.
- Give them guidance and perhaps work through making their first infra change with them.
