This page enables [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|'''administrators''']] to handle requests for permissions on Bharatpedia. Administrators are able to modify account creator, autopatrolled, file mover, extended confirmed, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, template editor rights and AutoWikiBrowser access.

Editors wishing to request a permission flag here should do so [[#Process|following the procedure below]]. Editors requesting permissions are advised to periodically revisit the requests page, as notifications will not always be given after a decision is made. Editors should not expect their requests to be answered right away and should remember to be patient when filing a request. To find out what permissions your account has, go to [[Special:Preferences]], where your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups".

Requests for permissions are archived regularly; please see [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions/Archive]] for an index of past requests.

====User groups====

*'''[[Bharatpedia:Account creator|Account creator]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Account_creator|preload=no}}:''' The account creator flag is granted to users who are active in the [[Bharatpedia:Request an account/Guide|request an account process]]. The flag removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24 hour period. It also allows users to make accounts with names similar to other accounts. The account creator flag is only given to users who participate in the ACC process and may be removed without notice should a user's participation in the account creation process cease.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Autopatrolled|preload=no}}:''' The autopatrolled flag is granted to users who are active in the creation of new articles. This tool is granted so their creations are [[Special:Log/patrol|auto patrolled]] in [[Special:NewPages]]. Unlike other requests, any user may nominate an editor for Autopatrolled, even without that user's consent. A user who wishes to have this flag generally should have created at least {{Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled/Article count}} articles and must be trusted, experienced, and must have demonstrated they are familiar with Bharatpedia's policies and guidelines, especially [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons|WP:BLP]] and [[Bharatpedia:Notability]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=AutoWikiBrowser|preload=no}}:''' [[Bharatpedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] is a semi-automated [[MediaWiki]] editor for [[Microsoft Windows]], designed to make tedious repetitive tasks quicker and easier. It is essentially a browser that automatically opens up a new page when the last is saved. When set to do so, it suggests some changes (typically formatting) that are generally meant to be incidental to the main change. Please read the quick [[Bharatpedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage#Guide|guide]] on the main page before requesting permission. This is not a true [[Bharatpedia:User access levels|user right]], but access needs to be granted by administrators just like other permissions. If approved, your name will be added to the [[Bharatpedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage|CheckPage]]. You will need to give a reason for wanting AWB access.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Event coordinator|Event coordinator]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Event_coordinator|preload=no}}:''' The event coordinator user right allows editors to create multiple new accounts, and to temporarily confirm accounts so that they can create new articles.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:User access levels#Extended confirmed users|Extended confirmed]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Extended_confirmed|preload=no}}:''' The extended confirmed flag is normally automatically added to accounts after 500 edits and 30 days, but may be added to [[Bharatpedia:Sock puppetry#Legitimate uses|legitimate alternate accounts]] of users that already have this access. The flag allows users to edit pages under [[Bharatpedia:Protection policy#Arbitration 30.2F500 protection|extended confirmed protection]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:File mover|File mover]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=File_mover|preload=no}}:''' The file mover user right is intended to allow users experienced in working with files to rename them, [[Bharatpedia:File mover|subject to policy]], with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Bharatpedia articles.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|New page reviewer]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=New_page_reviewer|preload=no}}:''' The new page reviewer user right allows users to mark pages as [[meta:Help:Patrolled_edit|patrolled]] and use the [[Bharatpedia:Page Curation/Help|page curation toolbar]]. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Page mover|Page mover]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Page_mover|preload=no}}:''' The page mover user right allows users '''experienced''' in working with article names to [[Bharatpedia:Moving a page|move them]], [[Bharatpedia:Page mover|subject to policy]], without leaving behind a [[Bharatpedia:Redirect|redirect]]. They may also move all [[Bharatpedia:Subpages|subpages]] when moving the parent page(s). General guidelines include making 3,000 edits and 6 months of editing history. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Rollback|Rollback]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Rollback|preload=no}}:''' Rollback enables users to remove [[Bharatpedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] much more quickly and efficiently than by [[Help:Reverting#Undo|undoing]] it. Users who do not demonstrate an understanding of what constitutes [[Bharatpedia:Cleaning up vandalism|capable vandalism fighting]], either because they have no or little history of doing so, or show a poor ability to discern between [[Bharatpedia:Assume good faith|good and bad faith]] edits '''will not be granted this right'''. Also, it is unlikely that editors with under {{Bharatpedia:Rollback/Mainspace count}} mainspace edits will have their request granted. For a more detailed explanation of rollback and information about when it is appropriate to use the tool, see [[Bharatpedia:Rollback]]. For information about the technical details of the feature, see [[Help:Reverting#Rollback|here]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Template editor|Template editor]] {{Bharatpedia:PERM/Subpage/Addview|subpage=Template_editor|preload=yes}}:''' The template editor flag allows users to edit protected templates and [[Bharatpedia:Lua|Lua modules]]. General guidelines for granting include making at least 1,000 edits overall (with at least 150 to templates or modules), being a registered user for over a year, and having a record of successfully proposing significant edits to several protected templates. Users should demonstrate proficiency with template syntax and an understanding of the need for caution when editing heavily-used templates.

===Handled elsewhere===
Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:

*'''[[Bharatpedia:administrators|Administrator]] and [[Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]] access:''' Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for adminship|requests for adminship]] and [[Bharatpedia:Requests for adminship#Current nominations for bureaucratship|requests for bureaucratship]], respectively.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Bots|Bots]]:''' Request for bot flags should be made at [[Bharatpedia:Bots/Requests for approval]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Edit filter|Edit filter]]:''' Requests for access to the '''edit filter manager''' group and the '''[[Bharatpedia:Edit filter helper|edit filter helper]]''' group should be made at [[Bharatpedia:Edit filter noticeboard]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:Interface administrators|Interface administrator]]:''' Requests for interface administrator access should be made at [[Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]]. Only current administrators may become interface administrators.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:IP block exemption|IP-block-exempt]]:''' While the IP-block-exempt right can be granted by administrators, this flag is not handled here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be submitted via the [[Bharatpedia:Unblock Ticket Request System|Unblock Ticket Request System]] or, if there are significant privacy concerns, email the checkuser team at {{nospam|checkuser-en-wp|Bharatpedia.org}} or contact a CheckUser directly.
*'''[[Bharatpedia:CheckUser|Checkuser]] and [[Bharatpedia:Oversight|Oversight]]:''' These rights are only granted by the [[Bharatpedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]], and only after strict scrutiny. More information can be found [[Bharatpedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight#Appointments|here]].
*'''[[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants|AfC reviewer]]:''' This access is granted by administrators at [[Bharatpedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants]].
*'''[[meta:Stewards|Steward]]''' permissions can only be granted in [[meta:Stewards/Elections|yearly elections]], and are rarely given.

== Removal of permissions ==
If you wish to have any of '''your''' permission flags (except administrator) removed, you should [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard|contact an administrator]]. If you want '''your''' administrator flag removed, you should contact a [[Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrat]].

This is '''not''' the place to request a review of another user's rights. If you believe someone's actions merit the removal of a permission flag, you should raise your concern at the [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|incidents noticeboard]].

The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight flags are removed at [[meta:Steward requests/permissions#Removal of access|meta:Steward requests/Permissions]]. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they are made on behalf of the [[Bharatpedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]], by a user who is requesting their own access be removed, or in cases of an emergency.

== Process ==
=== Requestors ===

'''To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting permission.'''

Any editor may comment on requests for permission.

===Administrators===
{{hatnote|Full instructions at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions/Administrator instructions]]}}

Administrators are permitted to grant account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, event coordinator, file mover, mass message sender, page mover, rollback and template editor flags to any user who meets the [[#Permissions|criteria explained above]] and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). Administrators may either grant these permissions permanently or temporarily. Administrators should review the user's contributions and logs to ensure the tools will be used appropriately and check for any indication of potential misuse.

Once an administrator has granted permission or decided to deny a request, they should add {{tl|done}} or {{tl|not done}} respectively under the request with their comments. If a user already has the requested permission, or is autoconfirmed and requesting confirmed, {{tl|already done}} should be used. ''N'' hours after the last comment was made, the request will be archived automatically: approved requests will be placed [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions/Approved|here]]; declined requests will go [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions/Denied‎|here]].
