Bug #: 29435
Summary: CentralAuth's Special:GlobalGroupMembership setup
catch-22
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
CentralAuth's Special:GlobalGroupMembership (aka Special:GlobalUserRights) only
allows users to use it who are already in a global group that confers the
'globalgroupmembership' right -- no local group can apply this property.
While this sounds nice, it seems to involve a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem:
without diving into the raw database, there's nobody who can add the first
global op user to the appropriate group.
Bug 17308 requests entirely *removing* the global right and replacing it with
*only* a local right, for a different reason -- ensuring that it can only be
run from a single wiki. This appears to be motivated by logging issues --
apparently we don't (or didn't, don't know the current status) have global logs
for global actions like this, so the logs go into the local wiki where they
might not be seein.
Either way, it would be useful to have some way to actually set it in the first
place...
