Giving users Labs/wikitech/gerrit access, if they already have an SVN account

Collect the following information from the user:

• Preferred wiki username (This will also be the user's git username)
• Preferred email address
• Their previous SVN account name

On virt1000, run the following commands:

 $ change-ldap-passwd --random <svnusername>
    (note returned password)
 $ modify-ldap-user --cn="<wikiusername>" --mail="<email address>" <svnusername>

Log in to wikitech once as the new user. Then go to Special:NovaProject and add the user, by wiki username, to the bastion project.

Then the user must do the following:

1. Go to the password reset form at labs console
2. Use the temporary password to set a password
3. Log into gerrit
4. Add their SSH key

Then, if they are an ops team member, add them to the ops group:

modify-ldap-group --addmembers=<svnusername> ops

If they are WMF staff, add them to the wmf group:

modify-ldap-group --addmembers=<svnusername> wmf
