(mozilla.org :: Github: Administration, task)

Description

[Charlie Humphreys [:charlie] [:jeddai]]

I would like to request that the repository jeddai/update-initial-experiments is transferred from my personal Github account into either the mozilla-mobile or mozilla organization.

Below are my answers to your stock questions:

** Which repositories do you want to have access? (all or list)
https://github.com/jeddai/update-initial-experiments

** Are any of those repositories private?
No

** Provide link to vendor's description of permissions needed and why
No permissions needed as far as I'm aware, the request is to transfer ownership of the repository to Mozilla.

** Provide the Install link for a GitHub app
Examples of use:

• Firefox iOS
• Fenix

** Additional Information

• Relevant JIRA epic: https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/EXP-2617

I think this is misnamed? The title refers to an addon, but the text and links point to a repository?

If that's correct (that this is about moving a repository into the mozilla or mozilla-mobile org) and the repo is NOT private, then this is actually self-service. You can intiate the transfer in yourself, and because you're a member of those orgs, you can "create" the repository (which is what the transfer is doing). You may need our help with getting admin permissions to the "new" repo but that's pretty easy. Directions here: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/transferring-a-repository#transferring-a-repository-owned-by-your-personal-account

If however, it IS an external addon, then we would need secops to review things. (or to enable the action across the whole org)

If you need help with perms, or we need to get secops involved, let us know, and we can facilitate that.

My apologies, I think I misunderstood the docs that let me here. I initiated the transfer and seemingly had the required permissions! I don't think I need admin permissions on the repository now that it has been transferred, so I think this can be closed out.

No worries, I didn't believe the owners when they told me this was self serve at first. (going OUT of the org is a whole other thing)

If it turns out you do need anything adjusted, this is the component to file that to.
