[[Stewards]] are the primary users with access to the suppression tool.

Stewards ~~always have~~ suppression access on all wikis. ~~They may use this access~~ regardless of whether local suppressors exist. However, if local suppressors do exist and have already made a determination with respect to ~~certain~~ content, Stewards should respect this decision (unless it is manifestly incorrect).

If required, Stewards are permitted to ''temporarily'' grant themselves suppression access on any wiki.<ref>This is not required for ''viewing'' of suppressed content, which Stewards can always do on all wikis.</ref> This is permitted regardless of whether local suppressors exist. However, if local suppressors do exist and have already made a determination with respect to the content, Stewards should respect this decision (unless it is manifestly incorrect).

Stewards should not self-grant ''indefinite'' suppression access except when there is local consensus.
