POST request to add or remove users from a group, thereby granting or removing certain user rights.
API-dokumentation
Eksempel
To use this API, you first need to log in to verify your own user group membership. Only certain groups are granted the ability to alter user rights via this API. See API:Login for more details on logging in.
Once you are logged in, make a GET request to obtain a userrights token .
The query above applies to MediaWiki v1.24+; in older versions, the userrights
token would depend on the name of the user whose rights were being changed.
The query would be made like so:
For compatibility reasons, the API will also accept the token used in the web UI.
Whichever method you choose, once you have your token, you can use it to make your userrights
request, as seen below.
POST request
Remove Bob from the bureaucrat group, and add them to the sysop group, thereby granting them sysop rights.

Yderligere bemærkninger
- By default, only users in the bureaucrat group can grant or remove user rights.
- Some wikis allow non-bureaucrats to grant or remove rights on a limited basis, such as restricting those abilities to the user's own account.
- If you do not possess the ability to grant or remove rights to the target user, the API will not throw an error; instead, the
add
andremove
fields in the response will simply contain empty arrays.
