Thread:Project:Support desk/Getting started as Admin (user rights)/reply (4)

Generally the additional user rights do not show up as a section or so in the preferences, they instead do appear as e.g. additional tabs and buttons in the MediaWiki interface, e.g. as a "Protect" tab and a "Delete" tab next to "View" and "Page history".

What however should be displayed in the preferences is the group membership of the user account. Meaning it should not only say "User", but something like "User, Administrator, Bureaucrat". Is this what you do not see?
