Description

A queue for Wikimedia GitLab account approval requests.

Ways to get your GitLab account approved:

Your account will be automagically approved by Tool-gitlab-account-approval if you meet at least one of these criteria:
- You are in one or more of the nda, ops, wmde, or wmf LDAP groups.
- You are a Toolforge project member.
- Someone in the Trusted-Contributors group has added you to the group and your Developer account is linked to your Phabricator account or your Wikimedia Global Account (SUL) account (via https://idm.wikimedia.org/ldapbackend/properties/).
- Someone in the Trusted-Contributors Gerrit group has added you to the group.
Use the GitLab Account Activation Request form to create a task asking for manual approval.

Hi and welcome! WMF staff should instead request membership in the ldap/wmf group via IDM.
As your LDAP account is already linked to your Phabricator account, that's all that you need to do. :)
Please also update the team's onboarding documentation accordingly. Thank you!
