'''Administrator''' is primary user group for testing the [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrator]] toolkit. It is granted, upon request (usually at [[TestWiki:Request permissions]]), to any [[TestWiki:Users|registered user]] who has [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]].

If you ''do'' wish to perform a test block on another user, a best practice, which you are strongly encouraged to practice here on [[mh:test|'''Public Test Wiki''']] is to obtain their consent, in writing and preferably on-wiki in advance).
