We maintain Google Drive as it is popular and accessible for people to do work remotely compared to open-source solutions currently. But if something better does come up, please feel free to implement a self-hosted alternative if you have the time!

Access groups

Used to control access to the drives. Not to be used as a mailing list.

ystv-members@yusu.org is the primary group which any member can request access through this form.

ystv-committee@googlegroups.com is the group of the committee members, including both constitutional and policy roles.

Drives

We maintain 3 Google Drives.

YSTV

This is the general store. Primarly used for document and active production storage.

ystv-members@yusu.org have content mananger access so they can to all file operations except for permanent deletion. ystv-committee@googegroups.com, computing@ystv.co.uk and ystv@yusu.org have manager access which includes permanent deletion.

YSTV Drives

Stores a read-only replica of the local drives. It's read-only since it's easier to not deal with sync issues.

It is read-only for all users except for computing@ystv.co.uk and ystv@yusu.org (likely can be demoted)

YSTV Admin

Contains sensitive documents i.e. personal information.

Currently members are added as needed. Likely to be swapped to ystv-committee@googlegroups.com
