== Changes to CentralNotice Access ==

A source of concern for some time has been that there are more people with access to CentralNotice than know how to or want to use the system. This is mainly been maintained because of CentralNotice's reliance on the MediaWiki namespace rather than a specific policy. Following the separation of interface-admin rights from general admins rights along with activity requirements for Meta Admin it has been decided to apply both of these policies to CentralNotice Administrators effective immediately as we look to proactively improve our security posture and promote a culture of security.

From today, only individuals with the “centralnotice-admin” user group will be able to modify campaigns and banners. Meta administrators will no longer be able access CentralNotice or make changes to centralnotice banners through the MediaWiki namespace.

CentralNotice-admins who have not made actions related to CN in the last 12 months as of November 16th 2018 will have the CentralNotice right removed but without prejudice. They will eligible to re-request the rights should the need arise or that they intend to work with CentralNotice on a longer term basis.

Meta-admins who have been active in the last 12 months in CentralNotice and will be added to the CentralNotice admin group by the Meta Bureaucrats shortly. Similarly Meta admins who have previously worked with CentralNotice but who have not done so in the last 12 months are eligible to re-request the rights should the need arise or that they intend to work with CentralNotice on a longer term basis without prejudice.

CentralNotice admins will also be required to undertake additional measures to secure their accounts.

It's understood this may cause some temporary disruption but I will be providing additional supports to communities in their access and use of CentralNotice through this period. Thank you all for your support and patience through this. [[User:Seddon (WMF)|Seddon (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Seddon (WMF)|talk]]) 05:25, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
