09 Request Access to Sub-Groups

----------------

Hi Folks

This is Pietsch Mario with the next video

about Community Communications

In this video I'll talk about, how you can become a member

Because this is the starting point.

So that you can be promoted up to a developer, maintainer of the different elements .. the different groups

I do sign in as "lab-video", which is my standard user here

which already created a merge request.

If I have a look at groups, I'm not part of any group yet

That makes the navigation a little bit more complicated

I want to go to tiddlywiki dot org.

If I'm part of a group, then it will be much easier.

As you can see, here is a "Request Access" button.

Every group in this project, should have this "Request Access" button.

If I forgot it somewhere, please tell me.

If you request access to everything,

it's definitely a request, to be a developer or maintainer.

It will be "hard" - not hard - it will be harder,

because you will have to deal with everything.

May be, you are only interested in the "senatus", then you can request access here

or ... or / and

you are also interested in the "docs"

you can request access here

That's basically it.

Now as an owner, I do get an e-mail notification

which tells me, that there is a new user, which wants to have access.

I log in as "admin". As admin I'm "only" part of this group

If I say: plus, I see everything. All my groups

There should be a request for "senatus"

members

As you can see, now the "lab-video" user says:

"User is requesting access to senatus"

I will grant it, as a Guest and say OK

That's the first thing.

He's a guest now. ok

Let's say, with the "docs".

members

Because I know this user, I will grant a little bit more

Let's say, this is a reporter.

and say OK

This is important!

You can have different roles with different groups.

If you request access to the "top level" group.

For the start you will be guest.

If you want to be a developer or even a maintainer,

of a part, then please request access to a sub-group.

Because it's much easier to make someone a maintainer of a sub-group,

then make someone a maintainer of the whole organisation.

We will have to play a little bit with these group access.

The main point is, that you can have, different roles for different groups.

If you want to have it easy, request access to the tiddlywiki.org group

and then you'll be guest.

After a while, if everything works out and you are more interested in documentation

then you will be eg: a developer or even up to a maintainer, of one group.

OK

The "admin" did it.

Now I go back to the user (lab-video)

As a user now, I can see, I'm part of tiddlywiki.org

and not a long list, because I'm guest at the "senatus"

I'm reporter with "docs"

I think this gives us a very nice and very clean overview about the different possibilities.

Where is the permission?

**searching for a link**

There is an overview

cookies :/ OK

There is an overview about the permission system

There you can see, what every "default" role has.

For the beginning, because I also don't know, what everything is doing

We will start simple, so you start as a Guest

There is a "reporter", which has a little bit more rights,

for reporting, issue tracking, logging, managing labels, assign issues and so on

There is the "developers" (role). .. more rights

Maintainers and the owner.

There is also maintainer and owner for groups

and

there should be somewhere, the "admin".

This is for the gitlab CI/CD permissions, there is an admin-role too.

The goal is, that we do have several maintainers for the different groups.

This will give us the possibility, that we really can push new versions of the documentation,

without the need, that Jeremy has to view everything.

Because now, every group can act independently.

That's the main goal.

If you are here, I'm "lab-video" user now, then you can see, I can request access

You can start simple, please start with the subgroups.

If you feel comfortable, with everything you may request access to the whole organisation

We will see, how this goes on.

That's the basics

Have fun!

Next video will be TiddlyWiki as a Static Site Generator

See you!
