Create/modify usergroups and rights through Manage this wiki's permissions (or Special:ManageWiki/permissions).

By default, MediaWiki creates a set of usergroups, but it's also possible to create more. Select the usergroup you want to modify and click on "Submit" or create a new one and click on "Create". Remember that usergroups cannot have the exact same name as another.

Default usergroups
These are the default usergroups that every wiki has. These groups cannot be deleted.


 * * (all users &mdash; incl. anonymous users)
 * Autoconfirmed users
 * Autopatrolled users
 * Bots Bureaucrats
 * Confirmed users
 * Interface administrators
 * Rollbackers Administrators
 * Users (registered users)

Permissions
You can assign or remove a permission of a usergroup by selecting the available checkboxes. The given rights of a group will be shown on the "Assigned permissions".

Be aware that some permissions are provided by specific extensions when enabled and may be not listed here.

Group assignments
On this tab, you can specify which groups can add or remove a user from the selected usergroup.


 * Can add to others &mdash; the users in X group can add this usergroup for a specific user.
 * Can remove to others &mdash; the users in X group can remove this usergroup for a specific user.
 * Can add to self &mdash; the users in X group can add this usergroup for themselves.
 * Can remove from self &mdash; the users in X group can remove this usergroup from themselves.

Be careful: depending on how you structure these options, this can result in normal users being able to add/remove higher roles from others or themselves.

Autopromotion
Autopromotion enables the users on the usergroup to "jump" from group X to Y when a specified criteria is met. Note that if a user matches the critera you set, they will inherit all permissions of this group and you can not remove them from this group under any circumstance unless you select promoting them once before they meet the criteria.
