Craig - I put this in front if Infosec who stated that Risk is low, though that was not due to a review. I think we should simply move forward with this.

The plugin requires an "integration token" (aka an API key) which we need to request from Medium. I believe Liz Hull holds the keys to the Medium account so I'll ask if she can get that ball rolling.

Liz - please let us know status on the API key needed from Medium.
Hi Eric! Can I give someone access to the Medium to do this? I'm super swamped with Maura and Sierra gone but don't want to be a blocker!

Craig - do you know if Liz can grant you the appropriate permissions to request (or access) said API key?

I can certainly try. We have to request the API key by filling out a form, and it's possible they would be suspicious of a brand new account making that request.
This is the form: https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=160277

We got the API key (thanks Liz!) and I've configured the plugin. Posts from the Firefox Frontier should now automatically be cross-posted to Medium. I'll give MJ the heads-up and we can verify with the next post, whenever that is.
