'''Administrator School''' teaches test wiki [[Test Wiki:administrators|administrators]] how to use their tools, including: managing user groups, (un)deleting pages, protecting, and blocking. There are many more tools, you may wish to visit [[Special:ListGroupRights]] and look under the “administrators” section to see all the user rights sysops have.  


==Managing user groups==
==Managing user groups==
Administrators can manage a few user groups, including [[Test wiki:Autopatrol|Autopatrol]], [[Test wiki:Patrollers|Patroller]], and a few others. If you are an admin, you can do this by going to a user’s userpage and clicking “change user groups” on the left-hand side. You can set how long you want the user to have the right, or you can choose to have it never expire. It’s up to you. A good idea is to create a second account to test these user rights on. Then you can see what the different rights do.

'''Important: If you are an admin and you want to manage your own user rights, DO NOT uncheck “sysop” in your list. You will NOT be able to re-add it, and will be stuck as a normal user until someone can fix this for you.''' [[User:^sithjarjar^]], the creator of this school, made that mistake once. It was embarrassing.
