[x] Julia: Brainstorm screen size (addition with dashboard screen)
[x] Julia: potentially discuss new lo-fi designs
[x] Trillium: How to change AWS secrets? Not sure if we can change our secrets, or if we need to put them into some environment elsewhere. Usually, AWS will have a place. Probably some secrets for VRMS, one of them is JWT secret that we use to sign Javascript web tokens (email is signed by our secret). Need to change this secret to make it more secure.

Notes from meeting:

AWS secrets - check with Ops Community of Practice for this info. Also provided him with access to 1password
Bonnie recommends finishing up "milestone" labelling first, followed by "feature" labels and any other missing labels, which will aid in the prioritization process. Apply labels to all open issues (even if outside of current project).
Decided to use REM instead of PX in designs, recommend designing for smallest common phone size (e.g., iphone 14), and also provide gap size / percentages to devs with designs going forward.

Participants:

[x] Julia
[x] Jack
[ ] Steph
[x] Rohan
[x] Bonnie
[ ] Josh
[ ] Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

Julia - review final designs and collect remaining feedback from Bonnie (the majority of the meeting should be dedicated to this)
Bonnie: Check in on progress of issue here / collaborate with Julia on how additional info should be added to the issue: https://github.com/hackforla/VRMS/issues/1534
Bonnie - discuss feature labels and changes to feature labels required: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14fd47047A42vycujTc03MeahFZyHHqM2ke-B3VaqH4w/edit#gid=0 and Label Review: Create Feature Repository Labels List and Label Review: Create Feature Repository Labels List and #1537
Josh - (if in attendance and time permits) check in on reviewing of issues - what to do with issues that are still relevant, but only for v4? Josh suggested adding another column to the current project that would be reserved for these issues. Alternatively, we could keep them in their existing separate project.
Note (bug fix) - Trillium merged his PR that should address #1411 & #1530. This fix has been implemented on dev, but has yet to be pushed to Prod. However, based on Jack's initial testing by comparing the times listed on recurring times vs manual check in times on dev, they do not appear to match up, indicating the timing bug may still be an issue.

[x] Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

[ ] Met with Julia & Trillium separately this week.
[ ] Update on Check in bug - after further review, appears to have been solved and the fix should be going into PROD shortly. (given this is a bug fix and we are not introducing new functionality, what are QA testing requirements prior to PROD - are stakeholder's required?)
[ ] Updates to Login and Landing / Check in pages - both of these pages use outdated design. Given that there was already a request to fix the Login page, we elected to update the Checkin page as well. Low lift / high impact.
- [ ] Discuss alternative logos?
- [ ] Design audit of other screens to get this up to date
[ ] Discuss handling of Epic issues (new column created)
[ ] Review issues contained within the "Existing Features" Milestone:
- [ ] Check if any issues are missing

Notes from meeting:

Bonnie was unavailable to meet for today's call. Jack & Trillium discussed next steps on the check in bug release to PROD, and login and landing check in page updates.

Notes from meeting:

Bonnie's feedback re: PMs being able to edit project details on current VRMS build.

When testing VRMS with a Project Manager assigned to the Tables Project, PM was able to edit the project details.
- PMs assigned to a project are not supposed to be able to edit anything about the project currently. PMs should only be able to edit/add/remove the events of a project in VRMS current state.
- Reason: in the current state of VRMS, there is no review process for PM edits to project details, so we cannot allow PMs to make edits to Project details. In the future, we will allow for certain project edits by a PM because a PM's project edits will be passed on to an Admin to be reviewed/approved.
- PM cannot edit project details…. (Can only view the rest of it).
- Find the guidance… if it’s not everything, then review what it is.
- IN Current state, there is no review process, so cannot be able to edit.
In summary: Any project edits should be LIMITED to admins only in CURRENT state.

Delete/restore Icons:

We have 2 material icons (red trash can if deleting it…straight icon without lines). Moving something with trashcan, moving with an uparrow.
- Icons available here: https://github.com/hackforla/tdm-calculator/issues/1661

Tasks to do:

[x] QA Test PM access to make project edits on projects using DEV/PROD.
[x] Depending on results, create issue limiting project edit abilities on PM accounts (project edit limited to Admins only, PMs can only edit events).
- Created issue #1630 to limit PMs ability to edit events

[x] #1377 should we keep this open & re-write the original to clarify "www" issue, or should we close it as completed given that issue's original request of resolving the cert error was achieved? If we elect the latter, then we could create a new issue re: "When some users type "vrms.io" they receive a 404 error."
[x] #1399 Confirm for the last time that no plans to restart "Hack Nights" in the future, and question can be dropped.
[x] #1630 created based on last week's feedback - to remove ability for PMs to edit project info on VRMS

[x] As discussed, will remove old meeting agendas from Wiki: #1636
[x] Trillium: Any updates on status of People Depot taking over VRMS backend?
- Problem solving has been pushed forward, two devs working on it are out at the moment. Check back in next week.

Issues to discuss:

[x] Check in re: Privacy Policy
[x] Collect additional info on Zoom URL API issue (specific page?)
[x] Review validation requirements for Project Management screen
- HfLA website URL & Google URL: Recently, we removed validation & dropped requirements for the HfLA Website URL and Google Drive URLs because not all projects will have these links and a user cannot . However, we have some older issues that request form validation for both of these fields.
- 1369
- 1370
- Based on ChatGPT, it sounds like it is possible to require validation of the text in a text input field while also allowing the field to remain optional (i.e., not requiring it to be filled out) by applying conditional validation logic. If I can confirm this is the case, would this type of conditional validation be preferred?
[x] Double check other required fields on Project Management screen and validation:

Field Name	Required Currently?	Validation?
Project Name	YES	Requested - issue written (no duplicates, 3-60 characters, allowable symbols: "- , ' " numbers, letters") - #1268
Project Description	YES	COMPLETE (250 Characters)
GitHub Identifier	YES (Change to NOT REQUIRED to be filled, but keep this field)	Requested - no issue (unsure of how to verify)
GitHub URL	YES	Requested - Issue written, but has been closed #1367
Slack Channel Link	YES	Requested - Issue written #1368
Google Drive URL	NO (Change to REQUIRED field)	Requested - issue written #1369
HFLA Website URL	NO	Requested - issue written #1370

Issues to discuss:

[x] Julia OOO until June 19
[x] Steph responded to request & removed Otter.AI from Zooms. Interested in staying on the team.
[x] GitHub Migration to the new Projects experience?
[x] Re: Google Drive URL on Project Management screen - last week, you mentioned that this should be a required field, however we recently dropped that requirement, as it was blocking changes to project information for projects without a Google Drive URL.
- A lot of the projects on VRMS do not currently include a Google Drive URL. By requiring a Google Drive URL in order to create/edit/save a project management form on VRMS, these existing projects will be locked from any changes on VRMS. Is this acceptable (we may need ALL projects on VRMS to update that info, or perhaps we can set up a time between the two of us to work on this together)?
- Are there any occasions where a Google Drive URL will not be available? E.g., perhaps a “completed” / “on hold” / “archived” project or a test project does not have/need a Google Drive URL.

Bonnie's Slack message re: GitHub migration - 2024.06.06

@channel The Product Management Community of Practice is helping projects to properly migrate their project boards. Please reach out to the [#product-management](https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C010LNXH2JY) Slack channel for help scheduling a meeting for that, if you are unable to attend our Friday meetings. Things to be aware of: - **Each project will get one project board** (unless given an exception by the admin team). You can create as many views of your project board as you need. - If you already have a project board on the new scheme, but your main project board is still on classic, please reach out in the [#product-management](https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C010LNXH2JY) channel for help rationalizing them into 1 board. - **Do not create test boards.** If you have created a test project board, open or closed, please be aware, it is visible at the org level. Here is how it works: - You see any project boards you have created - You see any project boards that your teams have been granted access to - The org admins see all project boards even if they are marked private. There is no way to organize the boards (other than what we devise). So given the difficulty of managing the boards, please stop creating test boards. - If you want to understand how project boards work for orgs, you can setup your very own org and test them there. - We reserve the right to delete any project boards, that are not specifically designated to a team without notification to the author or team members. See the next bullet on how to connect a project board to your team's repo. - **Connect the project board to your team** - Add the URL of your repo to the next project boards once the migration is complete. See Food Oasis as an example: https://github.com/orgs/hackforla/projects?query=is%3Aopen+food+oasis. You do this through the settings once you are looking at the open project board (click three dots, choose settings). - Make sure that the project is connected to the repo. This will happen automatically if you are migrating the project board. If the board is a fresh board (which there should not be any fresh boards). You do that connection from the repository itself. - **Cards are not available on the new project boards.** All cards will be converted to draft issue, and for the most part, you don't want that. - If you have a column on your project board with cards (e.g., a start here colum). Create an issue to copy the content from the cards to the issue, so that you can delete them prior to the migration see this wiki page for general details https://github.com/hackforla/product-management/wiki/GitHub-Project-Board-Migration-Issue. - If you have a card at the top of a column, that explains the column, there is a details option in the new project boards columns where you can put that text. During the weekly product-management meetings we can show you how to implement those. - If you have a board that is all cards, we recommend you create a spreadsheet and move the content to the sheet with the column names being a selection in column B (e.g., [HUU: Persona board transfer](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJg1u7pBLRaiuebMPzkg-juLu3RRspEegRYlkE3LBx8/edit#gid=0) spreadsheet) - **Members of your team will need to be granted access to the project board.** In the settings for the board, you add the names of your GitHub teams, not individual members. That way when a team member is offboarded from the team, they only have to be removed from the Google Drive, GitHub-write team, and Figma. The boards are already publicly visible, so prior volunteers can still see that, as can future team members. - **Rename the project board before the migration.** The name convention is initials of the team: project board (e.g., Civic Tech Jobs Project board would be CTJ: project board). If you already have more than one board on the new project, please keep the same naming convention (CTJ: project board - pimary, and CTJ: project board - secondary to be rationalized.)

[x] Discuss why there are three issues about the same thing https://github.com/hackforla/VRMS/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22p-feature%3A+User+Permissions%22
[x] Where is the issue to have a list of all people who have PM access. (is it this one? https://github.com/hackforla/VRMS/issues/1163) I need this so that I can look up a project, and
- [ ] see who I might need to offboard (which currently, I would have to look up each PM that is marked inactive on the roster for the team)
- [ ] see if all the pms are currently onboarded (although I can currently look up a few people manually)

[ ] Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

[x] Is this the issue to have a list of users who have PM access on a project? #1163
- (pending feedback from Trillium) - Yes, this issue appears to may be partially linked to this request to see a list of users with PM access on a project (pending confirmation from Trillium on this). I believe this would be the first step in the process, as it would enable VRMS to display such information, as well as the following issues tied to promoting and demoting PMs
- This is partially linked to the below duplicate issues:
[x] Discuss duplicates of same issue:
- 1243 & #1231 are exact copies. However #1243 has additional information at the top of the issue.
- 1486 Appears to be an issue written by Trillium that is specific to Admins promoting another user to Admin (i.e., Bonnie promotes Jack to admin) as opposed to PMs being able to provide PMs access.
  - Confirm if okay with implementing on the edit user page.
- Thus, I would recommend the following:
  - Dropping one of these two issues (#1243 or #1231) as they are exact copies**.
  - Develop / refine designs linked to this issue (either with Figma screenshot below, or modal approach. Note that the Figma screenshot is from an older issue (#1273) that was closed as unplanned due to being a duplicate.
    Figma Screenshot

Also recommend keeping #1486, potentially adding the same screenshot.
As for #1534, this is an issue re: User Access Levels, which is blocked until UALs are fully defined by People Depot.
- Action item"
That said, we could use clarity on next steps, re: moving ahead with these issues (list of PMs, with existing UALs (i.e., base-level user, PM, Admin), or place in icebox until UALs can be finalized?

When you click User you get this

If you click the first link you get this

If you click the second link you would get this

and if you clicked the Results by PM you would get this

to make someone an admin, you would go to their user record and toggle.

Participants:

[ ] Julia
[x] Jack
[ ] Steph
[x] Bonnie
[ ] Josh
[ ] Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

[x] Closed #1243 as this is a duplicate.
[x] Slightly refined wording on #1231 and placed in icebox with the dependency to complete once the "Permission Management" issues (Results by Admin & Results by PM) are complete.
- [x] Note that currently, PMs can only see the "projects" tab, they do not see the "users" tab (this is reserved for Admins only at the moment). Thus to enable something like #1231 , we would need to:
- 1) Open up access to "User Management" screen for PMs (however, do not allow access to "Permission Management" screen). PMs to see the "Users" tab and the "User Management" screen to search by user (see all users or perhaps only filtered to users on their team), and then add a user to only their project within the user profile screen (again, only allowing.
- 2). Enable another flow for PMs entirely?
- ANSWER: This issue has been placed in the icebox for now and will be revisited after implementing this Permission Management fix.
[x] Discuss epic creation for new Permission Management features refine draft together": #1737
- Should "User Permission Management" be searchable, or provide a list format? If so, will need to add search component.
- YES, add search component.
- Results by Admin:
  - Display full list, alphabetical order by user name
  - Search by user name
- Results by PM:
  - search by project name only.
  - Change title to "Results by Project Lead"
- Should this existing issue be added to the epic? #1486
- Yes, this should be added to the epic (to be implemented directly after the "results by Admin" feature is completed).
- However, it needs to be reviewed further with Bonnie during next week's PM call.
- Timeline - kick off with design first for mid-fi screens, or move ahead with existing screens?
- Move ahead with implementation based on
- Displaying PMs with multiple projects?
- Repeat the User Name for each project they are on.
  - Alphabetical order, organized by project, and then organized by user name.

Notes from meeting:

Bonnie's mockups: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oPP7mXDb09le3vVyaB4YUzOYYDa7sqDVCmvW5Srg30k/edit#slide=id.g2f7a654f994_0_14
Build out "Results by Admin" & Admin

Tasks to do:

Refine Bonnie's mockups for quick implementation. Per Bonnie - no additional UI/UX required for this implementation, as this is a hotfix that will be revised in the future.

Items for next meeting agenda:

[ ] Review existing issue that will be part of epic: #1486
[ ] Discuss epic
[ ] Confirm default display of Results by Admin and Results by Project Lead (prior to entering a search query) = full list of users. Believe this is the case, as the request was for Bonnie to be able to access a list of all Admins, and a list of all PMs on each project. Given that only Admins will be able to access these features, not sure if there are any issues associated with displaying full list.

Participants:

[x] Julia
[x] Jack
[ ] Steph
[x] Bonnie
[ ] Josh
[ ] Trillium (optional)

Issues to discuss:

[x] Discuss epic: #1737
- [x] Review Jack's updated designs of original (updated with search bar, refined filter labels - dropped "Results by", and clean UI)
- [x] Explore questions:
- [x] Should search be name & email or just name? (currently User search is divided into name OR email - so if we stick with existing functionality, perhaps name would be best?)
  - ANSWER: Just name
- [x] Should search for "Project Leads" allow for searching based on project name?
  - ANSWER: Name OR Project
- [x] Confirm default view (prior to entering search query). Should this be a list of all relevant users (e.g., ALL admins, and ALL project leads?)
  - Believe this was the case given that the requests from Bonnie were:
    - 1) "to see who I might need to offboard (which currently, I would have to look up each PM that is marked inactive on the roster for the team)"
    - 2) "to see if all the pms are currently onboarded (although I can currently look up a few people manually) was to be able to access a list of all admins and alist of all PMs on each project."
    - Also, given that only Admins will be able to access these features, this may limit any issues associated with displaying a full list of users - discuss further.
  - ANSWER: YES - we need to see everything here (show full list of admins, and show project leads full list
- [x] Discuss placement of "VRMS Admin" toggle on "EditUsers" screen
  - ANSWER: Yes - use new placement
- [x] Review existing issues that may be part of this epic (pending confirmation from Trillium ATM): #1486 & #1163
  - ANSWER: #1486 is relevant & a linked issue. #1163 is not relevant for this epic
- [x] Julia to present alternate options / brainstorm ideas on how to streamline this process from a UI/UX perspective (e.g., unifying "User Management" and "User Permission Management" on one page, and implementing a series of 4 different filters to take care of all processes).

Notes from meeting:

Discussed new super admin user feature to secure the admin promotion/demotion process and ensure we never lose control of the system. Jack to create issue and discuss with the team.
