Editing Brighter Shores:Access levels (section)

==Local level==
===Bots===
{{Main|Brighter Shores:Bots}}
Bots are automated accounts that perform certain tasks on the wiki. Bots have their edits flagged with a '''b''' in Special:RecentChanges, and have their edits hidden by default. A minor edit made by a bot to a user talk page will not trigger any notifications.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bot]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:bot}} bots.

===Administrators===
{{Main|Brighter Shores:Administrators}}
Adminstrators have access to a number of tools to allow them to carry out certain functions on the wiki. The tools cover processes such as deletion, protection, blocking, and access to the MediaWiki interface. Administrators also take responsibility for judging the outcome of discussions on the [[BS:FG|Forum Grove]]. Administrator rights are granted by the community through [[Brighter Shores:Requests for adminship|Requests for adminship]].

See [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:sysop}} administrators.

===Bureaucrats===
Bureaucrat rights are granted by the community to exceptionally trusted users who are allowed to perform certain actions on other users' accounts. Bureaucrats have all rights available to administrators, as well as extended access to [[Special:UserRights]], enabling them to add users to the <code>'bureaucrat'</code> group (but not remove them), and both add and remove users from the <code>'administrator'</code> and <code>'bot'</code> user groups.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:bureaucrat}} bureaucrats.

===CheckUsers===
{{Main|Brighter Shores:Check user}}
Users who are in the <code>'checkuser'</code> usergroup have access to [[Special:CheckUser]]. They are able to view a list of all IP addresses used by a user account to edit the Brighter Shores Wiki, a list of all edits made by an IP, or all user accounts that have used an IP address. They may also view a log of such requests. As process for granting CheckUser has not yet been formalised, there are no local CheckUsers.

See [[Special:ListUsers/checkuser]] for a list of the wiki's {{NUMINGROUP:checkuser}} CheckUsers.
