  ],

summary

MZCLD-3652 requests that all members of the CloudEng team be granted admin access to WPEngine, so that oncall/support staff can directly handle routine customer requests to add/remove WPEngine users, rather than routing them through two specific individuals who currently hold admin rights for historical reasons. The ticket is still in Backlog with no comments and no linked runbook/design doc was referenced in the description, so scope details (e.g., exact WPEngine account/install, whether "admin" means full account admin vs. site-level admin) still need to be clarified before implementation.

findings

• Ticket is a low-detail access-request/backlog item with no comments and no attached runbook link, despite referencing 'documentation for maintaining wpengine'.
• Root cause driving the request is an operational bottleneck: two named individuals are the only WPEngine admins (for historical reasons), and CloudEng oncall/support currently must relay customer requests to add/remove WPEngine users through them.
• The scope of 'admin access' is ambiguous — the requester themselves notes uncertainty ('whatever that means'), which is a risk for over-provisioning if taken literally as full WPEngine account admin for the entire CloudEng team.
• No confluence runbook/design doc was identifiable to pull additional context, since none was linked in the ticket description or provided in the trigger references beyond the Jira ticket URL itself.

proposed actions

Thanks for filing this. Before implementation, could we clarify a few things to scope this correctly and avoid over-provisioning access?

1. Which WPEngine account/organization (and install(s)) does this apply to — is this a single shared WPEngine account for all CloudEng-supported sites, or multiple?
2. What level of access is actually needed to unblock the common support request (adding/removing users)? WPEngine typically distinguishes 'Full' admin (billing, install management, user management) from more limited roles. If the goal is just user management for customer support, a narrower role may suffice rather than full admin for every CloudEng member.
2b. Could this instead be handled via a shared 'CloudEng-oncall' or 'CloudEng-support' WPEngine user/role that oncall staff use, rather than granting individual admin to every team member? This would ease future onboarding/offboarding and audit.
3. Can you link the existing documentation that lists current WPEngine admins so we can update it as part of this change and confirm who currently holds admin (the two people mentioned)?
4. Any compliance/security review needed given this expands admin access to the full CloudEng roster (headcount, turnover considerations)?

Once scope is confirmed, we can move this out of Backlog and assign for implementation (updating WPEngine account roles + the maintenance documentation).
