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 a memberUid 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 a mailDrop.
  • 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.
