Note that global renames may take a while to complete. If a global rename reports as "failed" or takes more than a couple hours, contact a system administrator.

== User rights management ==

=== Global rights and groups ===

Stewards have complete access to customize the rights assigned to [[global groups]] as well as users' membership in such groups. Global group membership can be assigned and removed at [[Special:GlobalUserRights]]. Permissions assigned to global groups can be viewed and edited at [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]].

Also, global groups can be configured to only apply on a specific set of wikis. These "wiki sets" can be created and modified at [[Special:WikiSets]].

=== Local groups ===

Stewards also have complete access to configure membership in local groups on all wikis. For transparency purposes, these changes must be made on Meta.

To access a user's rights management page, go to [[Special:UserRights]] and enter the following:

<kbd>''username''@''languageproject''</kbd>

* ''username'' is the username of the user.

* ''language'' is the two-letter language code of the project, if any ("en" for English projects).

* ''project'' is the project code.

** For the statewide wiki, this is "wickedgov".

** For municipality wikis, use the ''municipality'' name without any spaces (for example, LambWiki uses "sterling").

Note that if you are configuring Meta group membership, you should only enter the username and leave out the "@" sign and everything after it.

== Global blocks ==

Stewards may [[globally block]] accounts and IP addresses at [[Special:GlobalBlock]]. Unlike global locks, these actions may be locally overridden by administrators.

Note that global blocks always disable talk page access on all wikis where they are active.

By default, global blocks have no effect on Meta. If abuse on Meta has occurred or is expected, it may be a good idea to check the "{{int:globalblocking-also-local}}" box.
