Getting access to the Remote Settings admin interface
Since we already have a Remote Settings collection, getting access boils down to the following steps:
- Setup the Mozilla VPN and request access to the server using this Bugzilla template
- Ask an existing member of the url-classifier-skip-urls collection to get you added to the list of editors/reviewers
For a more comprehensive guide, including how to create your own collection, see https://remote-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html.
Admin Interface
Remote Settings provides a stage environment as well as a production environment:
- Stage: https://settings-writer.stage.mozaws.net/v1/admin/
- Production: https://settings-writer.prod.mozaws.net/v1/admin/
Please test interventions on stage before pushing to production. You can use the Remote Settings DevTools to switch between them in your browser (see also the Remote Settings documentation).
Tracking Interventions
We have set up bug 1537702 to track active interventions. All interventions must have a corresponding bug that blocks this meta-bug.
Steps to create a new Intervention
- Turn on the Mozilla VPN
- Visit the stage or production admin interface (see above)
- TODO find the url-classifier-skip-urls collection
- If you are skiplisting a resource blocking feature you need to skiplist the corresponding annotation feature so the blocked resource isn't shown as blocked in the UI (see Bug 1590591). For example, if you are skiplisting the fingerprinting-protection feature you should also skiplist the same pattern under the fingerprinting-annotation feature. The same is true for tracking-protection and tracking-annotation, socialtracking-protection and socialtracking-annotation, and cryptomining-protection and cryptomining-annotation.
- File a bug describing your intervention, using this template. Be sure to substitute [feature-name] and [site-name] in the bug title, and provide information for all items in the template's description.
- TODO?
You should aim to fix the breakage that led to an intervention within your specified timeline. Once the fix lands you should wait until the fix ships to all channels (Nightly, Beta, and Release) before you remove the intervention.
