Extension talk:Require Editor Privilege

Group Permissions
I noticed the assignment of permissions:

// Implicit group for administrators $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ] = array_merge( $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ], $wgGroupPermissions['editor' ]);

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat' ] = array_merge( $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat' ], $wgGroupPermissions['sysop' ]);

It appears (to me) that your giving the sysop the permission of both sysop and editor. And then giving bureaucrat the same as sysop. Wouldn't this then give the bureaucrat the righs of both sysop and editor. Doesn't this then make a bureaucrat essentially a sysop?

 * Without the extension bureaucrat and sysop have are users and hence have the same rights as an editor with the extension. You are right, that a bureaucrat does not necessarily have to be a sysop. Anyway he can grant sysop authorization to himself. --Xypron 17:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
