[edit] Usage
This extension displays a preferences form (like the one in Special:Preferences, Special:EditUser) that allows editing the preferences of other users. You can call the page via Special:EditUser/username to directly edit a user, or Special:EditUser to display a search form. Users with the edituser-exempt permission cannot be edited via this form.
Warning: Only grant access to this extension to users you trust. Accounts can literally be taken over from use of this extension.
[edit] Default permissions
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['edituser'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edituser-exempt'] = true;
