• Default permissions for LDAP authenicated users is pretty much the same
• NetIDs in the following LDAP ou (organizational units) have bureaucrat privileges
  • "Academic Computing"
  • "Ctr for Teaching & Learning"
• NetID LRG has sysop privileges

• edit
• createpage
• createtalk
• upload
• reupload
• reupload-shared
