+
+## Machine Access
+
+For a list of machines, see the [inventory.yml][]. Access is controlled through
+the [secrets repo][], which [@nodejs/build][] (and [org owners][]) have
+access to.
+
+### Test machines
+
+[@nodejs/build][] have root access to the test CI machines (`test-*`).
+
+### Infra and Release machines
+
+A subsection of build members have access to infra and release machines
+(`infra-*` and `release-*`). The current list is:
+
+- Johan Bergström [@jbergstroem](https://github.com/jbergstroem)
+- João Reis [@joaocgreis](https://github.com/joaocgreis)
+- Michael Dawson [@mhdawson](https://github.com/mhdawson)
+- Rod Vagg [@rvagg](https://github.com/rvagg)
+
+## Infra Access

+There are a number of other infra assets maintained by the Build WG, accesses
+are as follows:
+
+### [ci.nodejs.org](ci.nodejs.org)
+
+- [@nodejs/collaborators][] have access to run Node core tests.
+
+- Run and configure access for other jobs is controlled by the team who own them
+(for example, the [post-mortem jobs][] are run by [@nodejs/post-mortem][], and
+configured by [@nodejs/post-mortem-admins][]. For more info see the [Jenkins
+access doc][].
+
+- [@nodejs/build][] have machine access (the ability to add, remove, and
+configure machines).
+
+- [@nodejs/jenkins-admins][] have admin access.
+
+### [ci-release.nodejs.org](ci-release.nodejs.org)
