One of the administrative privileges is the ability to grant and revoke user groups, more commonly referred to under the misnomer permissions or rights.[1] Each user right has a set of prerequisites that candidates should generally meet. A brief outline of expectations can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions#Permissions, but for the most up-to-date information you should refer to the granting guidelines listed below in bold.
Users can request that a right be added to their account at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions. In general, granting of rights is not done without the user's consent, with the exception of autopatrolled.[2]
- ^ Any given particular user group contains a set of rights (or permissions)
- ^ Autopatrolled has no effect on the user who holds the right, instead being in the interest of new page patrollers
