One of the administrative privileges is the ability to grant and revoke '''[[Wikipedia:User access levels|user groups]]''', more commonly referred to under the [[misnomer]] '''permissions''' or '''rights'''.<ref>Any given particular ''user group'' contains a set of [[Special:ListGroupRights|rights]] (or permissions)</ref> Each user right has a set of prerequisites that candidates should generally meet. A brief outline of expectations can be found at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions#Permissions]], but for the most up-to-date information you should refer to the granting guidelines
In general, granting of rights is not done without the user's consent, with the exception of [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled]].<ref>Autopatrolled has no effect on the user who holds the right, instead being in the interest of [[WP:NPP|new page patrollers]]</ref> Users can request that a right be added to their account at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions]].
