Re: Add users to BIOPERLML mailing list?

I may need to contact Ewan Birney for that info.  Thanks Karen, that helps.

There are a few IDs where the credentials are shared, to mark ownership over modules that transcend an individual: e.g. MONGODB and MAXMIND. There is also the P5P id whose credentials are held by the current pumpking, for managing the release of dual-life modules.  There are, however, no separate rules in the PAUSE database for the management of these IDs -- the credentials are simply passed among the people who need to use them, as decided by whoever made the original registration.

Each PAUSE ID is for an individual user, as far as I'm aware.

If you want to avoid sharing the credentials for that one PAUSE ID
among several people (sensible) then you should have each person get
their own PAUSE ID, then log in to PAUSE as BIOPERLML and assign
them co-maint permissions on each namespace they'd need to be able to
make releases for:

https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=share_perms<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pause.perl.org_pause_authenquery-3FACTION-3Dshare-5Fperms&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=fbHa8Njtvh9VmSnzJxiEUTW9NWDwMMwQAzhgZDO41GQ&m=OSu7jW4fyTwqNcDQoPqWwTIUY6okCdTJNadW198yneo&s=Po5PP592lonrrFKPfGuMXszGEgUWugrDTiRzzfFfINA&e=>

That way, each person is accountable for each release they distribute
to CPAN.

I'm not aware of any "group" functionality to allow multiple users to
share a "group" ID, other than just sharing the password for that PAUSE
ID, which is of course suboptimal.
