Manual:User rights on Mediawiki

User rights are permissions (like the ability to edit pages or to block users) that can be assigned to different user groups. MediaWiki ships with a default set of user rights and user groups, but these can be customized. This page explains the default rights and groups and how to customize them.

For information about how to add and remove individual wiki users from groups, see Help:User rights and groupsMediawiki logo.svg and Manual:Setting user groups in MediaWikiMediawiki logo.svg.
