Bureaucrats have access to [[Special:VerifyOATHForUser]] on their respective wikis, allowing them to verify whether users have two-factor authentication enabled. These checks must ''only'' be conducted on users who (a) hold local permissions for which two-factor authentication is required, or (b) have requested and are likely to receive such permissions. Bureaucrats are expected to be careful and judicious with this access, and inappropriate use may result in revocation of the bureaucrat bit. | |||

If you are a bureaucrat, to give or remove another user administrator, bureaucrat or bot access (or any other access), go to [[Special:UserRights|Special:UserRights]] on the wiki where you are a bureaucrat. There is a link to this on the [[Special:Specialpages|list of special pages]]. | |||

Type the user's name into the box, and enter a reason for the change. Choose the rights you wish to assign/remove to the user by ticking/unticking the relevant boxes. Note that if the user group has an asterisk (*) next to it, you will not be able to remove it yourself. When you are done, press the ''{{int:Saveusergroups}}'' button. | |||
