screen shot - missing 'user rights management' link for admin

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to wikimedia main page as an Admin page.
2. Click on the 'My contributions' link.

Actual results:
'user rights management' link is not available.
(Refer the screen shot)

Expected results:
'user rights management' link should be available for the Admin user to change the user rights level for the other users.

Works on my 1.17
Comment 2 Chad H. 2011-01-25 20:48:27 UTC
Likewise.

"Admin" is the normal wiki sysops we're familiar with which do deleting/protecting/blocking/etc.

In order to manage user rights, you must be a bureaucrat (and have 'userrights' permissions), or be specially configured to add/remove specific rights (eg: $wgAddGroups, etc). Probably the "Tester" user doesn't  have user-changing rights on prototype, meaning you *shouldn't* see the user rights management link.

You can confirm this by going to [[Special:UserRights]] on Prototype directly. You should still get an access denied message.
