Granting access
Users can be authorized to use the Phabricator Ban tool by being added to the members list of acl*userdisable in Phabricator itself. Existing list members and Phabricator admins have the ability to modify the group membership.
Usage guideline
Currently, there is no regulation whatsoever about the usage of this tool, but common sense should be applied. Examples of accounts that should be disabled includes...
- Accounts which sole purpose is to troll
- Spammers
Emergency disable
The tool can be rendered harmless by blocking the PhabBanBot user on Phabricator. Note: this can not be done via the tool itself.
