Jim,
Can you put out a message similar to this to the
community (mainly CGs) that educates them on
the current role situation and the planned one?
We discussed this at the last OGB meeting and
felt the community needs to be better informed
about this subject, since they are being impacted
by it now.
We already have divergence in a number of CGs
from the poll database, to allow non Cs & CCs
the ability to edit and administer web pages.
CGs need to know they can do this, understanding
that the poll database will be synced with
auth correctly later.
Thanks,
Jim
The past is the past. We need to focus on the
present and future.

I'm listed as a Core Contributor in the SMF Community under 'tonyn'

have web site admin privileges in the new infrastructure. What does it
take for a member to have web site admin privileges in the current
infrastructure?
Thanks,

We can make this change for you manually in Auth during this interim
period so you can edit pages in your CG (if it`s ok with the other
leaders, of course). We will also update that data migration document
shortly when we deploy an update to the Auth system with some changes.
Here`s what happened:
When we deployed Auth in August, we had implemented a system where Core
Contributors would have website edit privileges in their Community
Groups on the new XWiki site. However, the OGB objected. So, to
accommodate them, we did some additional work to update the roles in
Auth for CGs so they would be the same as User Groups -- Leader,
Affiliate, and Participant. See the document link above for an
explanation of the UG roles, and the link below for an explanation of
the change we are making.

Your CC status is a /governance/ role. It enables you to vote in
elections. It will have nothing to do with your /website/ roles on XWiki
when we move to that site on 10/26. That`s basically the situation on
the current site, too. If you want to edit the current site, one of the
other Leaders/Editors would have to make you a Leader/Editor in your CG.
Apologies for the confusion. It will be easier when we are at least
living on one site. Right now we are still in an interim state for a bit
longer.
Jim
