There is a MediaWiki extension that can be used to allow bureaucrats to control user
groups and group permissions via an on-wiki special page interface:
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserGroups
There is also
https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configure which allows configuration of
most everything via an on-wiki special page - however that extension is defunct and
doesn’t support the most recent versions of MediaWiki.

Hi,
You can remove a default userright by unsetting it in LocalSettings.php.
For editmyusercss, this right is assigned to all users by default. Therefore, to remove
it, add this line of code:
$wgGroupPermissions[‘*’][‘editmyusercss’] = false;
Then, to assign the right to another group, add this line of code:
$wgGroupPermissions[‘customgroupname’][‘editmyusercss’] = true;
Of course, replace “customgroupname” with the name of the user group that you want to have
this right.

Hello,
How can I remove a basic user right available to all by default (say,
"editmyusercss") , and add it as a right only available to a custom group that
only Bureaucrats can assign users to? Thank you.
Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is for a private enterprise mediawiki (EMW). I want
to be able to allow all externally authenticated users visting my site to be
autoregistered (autocreateaccount), but I want to authorize them to view content based on
other session data available to me. My goal is to set my site up to deny all of the basic
default privledges that come with merely being a registered user on the site and then to
auto add users to specific custom groups based on additional identification data I get
from the browser session header. I think I can do all this once I know how to create
custom groups and remove default basic rights to the custom groups from the
localsettings.php file. Then I can manually assign users to custom groups and work on
being able to autoassign users to groups later.
Thank you!
-Rich
