Also make sure that you are giving the right to the user you intend to give it to, and not a possible imposter of that user. #Press the "Edit user groups" button to bring up the User rights management screen. This screen can also be accessed by via the link "User rights management" under the Tools section of your sidebar, visible when you are on a page in a user's userspace. In our case, you can find the link when you are on the page [[User:ThisIsaTest]]. #On the User rights management screen, you will see two lists: one titled '''Groups you can change''' and the other '''Groups you cannot change'''.
