{{Ambox|image=[[File:Tux.svg|40px|link=]]|text=Anyone with super user privileges on the Endurance Coalition VPS is entitled to all permissions upon request. They are not granted by default purely as a practical matter.}}

This wiki has different account permissions to assist in it's administration. Any editor may ask a bureaucrat for any permission. Granting and revoking is at a bureaucrat's discretion.

Line 4:

Line 6:

The only people able to adjust permissions are '''bureaucrats'''. They may do so at their discretion. They can also delete revisions in a manner that hides them from even administrators, reserved for getting rid of ''personally identifiable'' information that is mistakenly published.

This permission is strictly controlled ~~due to a lack of need for many people to have it~~. ~~A bureaucrat~~ account ~~being compromised could cause substantial damage which~~ may ~~not be reversible~~, ~~and so limited granting is also in the interest of site security.~~

The following individuals in the Endurance Coalition are bureaucrats. This permission is the most strictly controlled. Anyone with an account may still request it, just odds are higher than normal that it'll be denied.

~~The following individuals in the Endurance Coalition~~ are ~~bureaucrats~~.
