Bureaucrats are one level 'up' from administrators. Bureaucrats only have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group. Although bureaucrats cannot directly revoke another user's bureaucrat status, they can revoke their own.

Bureaucrats have the ability to:

  • Grant and revoke Content Moderator and Administrator rights,
  • Appoint new bureaucrats,
  • Revoke their own bureaucrat status, and
  • Revoke a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning.
