Node.js Maintainers Threat Model: Access per Group table
Hi folks, as part of Node.js Security initiative we have created a table of access per group based on available roles under Node.js org. We'd like to get some feedback/review. Feel free to edit the table if you think something is wrong (I can read the history and update our hackmd table).
The idea is to have a table of permissions and then look at the threats each role has and its impact on the nodejs organization.
Levels: (-) none, (r) read, (w) write, (a) admin/owner (inspiration from https://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/UNIXpermiss.htm)
Additional notes:
- While some teams can have access to a resource, like the
secrets, they might have different access level internally based on sub-groups. - Some individuals and team have access such write in different GitHub repositories in the org, like Working groups or subteams.
Note
¹ - All repositories with code that get published or has some impact on nodejs/core
² - Releasers has access to run CI during CI Embargo (Security Release)

Repos under nodejs which do not include code, are not covered as they cannot lead to the threats listed.
pkgjs.org is excluded as it does not include code/repos that make it into Node.js binaries
