== Appointment ==

~~Interface administrators may be appointed on individual wikis, subject to the following rules:~~

Interface administrators are appointed by local community consensus. As a matter of global policy, they are required to enable [[Help:2FA|two-factor authentication]]. After that, a user with the appropriate permissions will add the technical flag.

=== By bureaucrats ===

On wikis that have bureaucrats, interface administrators can be added by the bureaucrats.

=== By Stewards ===

On wikis with no active bureaucrats, the Stewards will grant interface administrator access. In addition to local policies and consensus and the authentication requirement, Stewards use the following criteria when deciding whether or not to grant access:

* Interface administrator access may be granted either temporarily or indefinitely.

* The local interface administrator flag may be granted and removed by Stewards only.

* Appointments will be made by local community discussion. If any reasonable objections were raised in the local discussion, there must be broad consensus to grant access.

* All users ~~applying for~~ interface administrator access must be a local administrator~~. If a user's administrator access is removed, interface administrator access must also be removed~~.

* All users granted interface administrator access by Stewards must be a local administrator.

** Exceptions to this criterion are possible for non-administrator bot accounts operated by administrators.

* All interface administrators must have [[Help:2FA|two-factor authentication]] enabled.

* ''For indefinite access:'' The wiki must be large enough to require permanent interface administrators. Stewards will make the final determination of this point based on criteria including the size of the community and the frequency of CSS/JS edits being necessary.

== Removal ==

Stewards will remove interface administrator access in the following cases:

On wikis with no active bureaucrats, Stewards will remove interface administrator access in the following cases:

* When an interface administrator has resigned.

* When an account does not meet or no longer meets the two-factor authentication requirement.

Line 31:

* According to local policy.

* According to local consensus to remove the permission.

Even if there are active bureaucrats, Stewards can use their discretion to remove the permission (a) when the authentication requirement is not met and no bureaucrat action is forthcoming, or (b) in emergencies to protect the best interests of the WickedGov sites.
