Managing Disclosure

Project and distribution owners can grant or revoke user and team permissions to access all private artefacts.

Project and distribution owners need to see who can access all or some of their project. Owners need to grant and revoke access.

PrivateProjectsAndDistributions

Rationale

With the introduction of private projects and distributions, owner need a way give access to hundreds of private project artefacts.

Stakeholders need to know who has access, and in a single action, grant or revoke it. This is valuable to public project with default private bug and branches--once a company team is granted access, all employees have access to company information.

e.g. Steve Magoun from OEM would like to be able to see exactly who has access to every component in his project.

Stakeholders

• OEM (Joey Stanford, Steve Magoun, Cody A.W. Somerville)
• Hardware enablement (Chris Van Hoof, Hugh Blemings)
• ISD (Stuart Metcalfe)
• Landscape (???)

• UbuntuOne (John Lenton)

Commercial stories

As a commercial project owner
I want to mark some data as proprietary that should not be shared with other projects
so that information provided in confidence is not disclosed

so that they I can delegate all development to them

As a driver OEM projects (~pmteam)
I want to share some bugs and branches with a contractor
so that he can fix the issues for us

Constraints and Requirements

Must

1. A lists of all the users with full or partial access.
   The view must also show exactly how the user has access, for example: directly or via a team; as a (core?) contributor or as a user; by subscribing to some artefacts or through access to the whole project.

2. A summary everything an user may know about the project.
   The view must also show how the user has access: direct or via a team.

3. A way to grant a user or team full access to a project.
   When a owner grants access to a team, the view should show who gains access.

4. A way to revoke all access to a user or team.
   Revocation removed all subscriptions to individual artefacts be default. The owner many choose to keep some subscription so that partial access is allowed. If the user has access via a team, the view must explain how to remove either the user or the team to revoke permissions.

Nice to have

1. List the users who have full access via the owner or driver team.
   The owner may need to know about contributors as well as users. If the owner can revoke access to an owner/driver, then the user must be removed from the team and assignments and subscriptions are removed too.

Must not

1. Revoking a user or team must not allow the user to have partial access.
   Revoking access to a user must remove the individual subscriptions that provide partial access.

2. Granting access must not cede control of disclosure.
   Public teams may not be direct or indirect members of a private project. Open teams allow anyone to choose to become a member, which undermines the owner's power to manage disclosure.

Subfeatures

None

Workflows

1. Viewing a list of users and a summary for a single user.
2. Granting access to a user or team
3. Failing to grant access to a team that is open or a member team is open
4. Revoking access to a user with full access.
5. Revoking access to a user with partial access.
6. Revoking access to a contributor?

Success

How will we know when we are done?

1. An owner can see all users who have access to a private project.
2. The owner can see how the use acquired access.
3. The owner can see a summary of what the user knows.
4. The owner can revoke a user and see what the user was unsubscribed from everything too.

How will we measure how well we have done?

1. The canonical team is subscribed to all canonical projects.

Thoughts?

jml

1. Owner, drivers, security contacts and bug supervisors are assumed to have full access.
2. We should get a team within Canonical to beta test
