Wikiversity:Interface administrators

A Wikiversity interface administrator is a trusted user who has the technical ability to edit the JavaScript and CSS of all users.

What can interface administrators do?
Interface administrators may use their rights as described below:

Access
Bureaucrats have the technical ability to grant interface administrator access, but should do so only in the manner described here.
 * How does one become an interface administrator?


 * For now, Wikiversity does not have a need for permanent or long term interface administrators. Accordingly, interface administratorship may only be granted temporarily by bureaucrats (not to exceed 2 weeks without discussion)
 * To provide a second set of eyes, bureaucrats may not grant themselves interface adminship - it must be granted by a different bureaucrat
 * Exception: If no other bureaucrats are available within a reasonable amount of time, and other uninvolved support staff agree that the request is reasonable, a bureaucrat may grant themselves the rights
 * Interface adminship should not be granted to non-support staff (non-custodian, non-curator) without prior discussion
 * Users seeking interface adminship must enable two-factor authentication.

Bureaucrats have the technical ability to remove interface administrator access. The should do so in the manner described here, but in an emergency are empowered to act with discretion.
 * Losing access


 * A bureaucrat may, without prior discussion, revoke interface adminship if it is being used to edit against the community's wishes, or otherwise being used improperly. The bureaucrat must then open a discussion.
 * A bureaucrat may, after prior discussion, revoke interface adminship if there is consensus among support staff that it should be revoked.
 * A bureaucrat may, at the request of any interface administrator, revoke their interface adminship
 * Interface administrators may revoke their own interface adminship


 * Discussions
 * Requests for interface adminship, and discussions regarding revoking such rights, should be made publicly in well-watched areas, such as at Notices for custodians or Request custodian action
 * If a bureaucrat removes interface administrator rights without discussion in an emergency, they must promptly initiate a discussion for the community to review their actions
 * The bureaucrat must leave a note with the user in question, alerting them to the removal of access and the discussion
 * The bureaucrat must explain why they have removed access
 * While a discussion is open, another bureaucrat may not restore the rights
