Earning Rights
Obtaining User Rights within the BEAR Wiki is restricted to members of the Staff Team. Users who aren't within the Staff Team are typically not going to receive user rights and are strictly handed out when ever deemed necessary. Obtaining rights is mostly from the following reasons:
- Being a member of the Staff Team.
- Handing out Rollback permissions for active editors within the wiki.
- Handing out User Rights to official testers/contributors/developers of Bear for accuracy and correct info of certain articles.

These are the primary ways that User Rights are handed out. Permissions and roles adjustments are only allowed by Bureaucrat+. All promotions are handled by Head of Staff, AuxiIiaryy and the owner, Birmations.
