User groups

This list describes all userrights that can be given by Orain stewards, local bureaucrats or local administrators.

Local
User rights in this section can be granted locally.
 * Autoconfirmed
 * Autopatrolled
 * Bots
 * Bureaucrats
 * Confirmed
 * Email-Confirmed
 * Rollback
 * Administrators
 * Translation reviewer (Unused)
 * Users
 * Members (for Private wikis)

Procedure for Assignment
Uesrrights in the above section are given based on local policies. It is advised that each wiki set up their own guidelines for the requirements for each permission (whether it be a requests page, an election, etc.). Stewards have the technical ability to manipulate all userrights on Orain wikis, however they should avoid doing so unless their local rights would allow it.

Policy
Each Orain wiki is invited to establish their own policies regarding the assignment of userrights.

Global groups
In the below section are global userrights. These rights apply to all wikis on Orain unless one has specifically opted out of certain ones. These rights are given at the discretion of the stewards.
 * Global bots
 * Global importers
 * Global IP block exemption
 * Global rollbackers
 * Global sysops
 * Ombudsman
 * Stewards

Procedure for Assignment

 * Global bots: Given when a bot is operating on numerous Orain wikis and preforms general maintenance tasks.
 * Global importers: Requested on SRGP and granted at the discretion of the steward(s) with the advice of the community.
 * Global IP block exemption: Given when user is being blocked by Global block. Local blocks take precedence over global blocks and are not bypassed using this right.
 * Global rollbacker and Global sysops: Requested on SRGP and granted at the discretion of the steward(s) with the advice of the community.
 * Ombudsmen: Granted to users appointed by the Orain Community Council. This is a heavily restricted right and is not available for request.
 * Stewards: Granted by the Orain Community Council, potentially with input from the community.

Policy
All global rights are granted at the discretion of the stewards. Some rights, such as Global Sysop and Global Rollbacker, are open for community input. Community input is not a vote; the final decision on the request sill lies with the stewards.

Restricted Userrights
Userrights in this section require additional prerequisites (such as identification):


 * Stewards (on Meta)
 * CheckUsers
 * Oversight
 * Importer

Procedure for Assignment
These userrights require identification. for identification procedure, see.
 * Stewards: Local group on meta that allows stewards to preform global tasks while logging them in one place. This right is granted by the Community Council.
 * CheckUser/Oversight: Granted by the Community Council or Stewards once a community holds a local election when they are large enough to show significant benefit from a local functionary (desertion of the stewards). All users MUST identify per the Identification Policy before this right can be granted.

The importer userright may be granted by the stewards at their discretion. The user should show the need to import a large number of pages from a file. Typically, this userright will be temporary (1 month - 6 months), but does not have to be.

Identification procedure
A user sends proof of identity (Passport, state issued ID, etc.) to either Dusti or John for processing. If valid, the ID will simply be destroyed it and a small record will be made of Name, Legal age of majority (Over 18), and Country of Origin (if a user wishes to contest such storage, the case will be heard). Once we confirm it, it will be listed on the Identification log and the appropriate rights will be granted.

Local Removal of Rights
When requested by either the user themselves or the community, local administrators or bureaucrats may remove the appropriate rights. (Bureaucrat rights can be removed by Stewards and request should be made on SRP)

Global and Restricted Removal of Rights
Should the ombudsmen determine that any functionary (Checkuser or Oversighter) has abused their tools, they can recommend the removal of that user's rights to the Community Council. The Community Council will conduct a fair and balanced investigation into the situation and make a decision, by vote, on the matter.

Should the community feel that a user has abused their global rights, they shall conduct a recall on meta. Procedure for a recall will be established at a later date.
