-'''User rights''' refers to the ability to perform particular actions on Conservapedia.  Apart from ordinary editing, there are a number of additional rights that some users are granted.
+&nbsp;
-== Edit rights ==
-Whilst all users can edit, in order to avoid vandalism, editing is often shut off while it is night-time in the U.S.
-While editing is shut off, only those users granted editing rights can edit at all.
-Editors granted these edit rights are listed [[Special:Listusers/edit|here]].
-== Upload rights ==
-Again to avoid vandalism, the right to upload images is restricted (at all times) to particular editors.
-Editors granted upload rights are listed [[Special:Listusers/Upload|here]].
-== Blocking rights ==
-To counter blatant vandalism, some editors have the ability to block vandals. These particular rights may be granted to users who demonstrate an ongoing ability to revert vandalism. Users are also encouraged to report suspected vandals to the administration (preferably supplying evidence with [[Conservapedia:Diffs|diffs]]).  Editors granted blocking rights should only use them for blocking vandals or other cases where immediate blocking is required.  Other violations should be referred to an administrator.<ref>This restriction of only blocking vandals applies only to editors granted blocking rights after this amendment was posted in December 2007.</ref>
-Editors with blocking rights are listed [[Special:Listusers/Block|here]].
-== Administrator rights ==
-Some editors are granted the ability and authority to enforce Conservapedia's rules and resolve disputes.
-These '''administrators''' or "[[Sysop|sysops]]" have the following abilities:
-* Edit rights
-* Upload rights
-* Block rights
-* The ability to delete (and undelete) pages.
-* The ability to move (rename) pages.
-* and more.
-Administrators may have the user sysop template on their user page.
-{{User Sysop}}
-Administrators are listed [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].
-== Siteadmin rights ==
-Some administrators are granted the additional ability to lock and unlock the database (locking prevents ''all'' editing). This is known as '''siteadmin rights'''.
-Siteadmins are listed [[Special:Listusers/Siteadmin|here]].
-== Bureaucrat rights ==
-Some administrators are granted the additional ability to change user rights.  They are known as '''bureaucrats'''.
-Bureaucrats are listed [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|here]].
-== Requesting further rights ==
-If you would like to be granted any of these rights, you must have a proven record of being a genuine editor.  Only bureaucrats can change editing rights, but you might be better to approach a sysop who is familiar with your work, and he can recommend to a bureaucrat that you be granted additional rights.
-Administrator and greater rights are generally only granted when there is a specific need, not simply for being a good editor.
-== Note ==
