Please allow changing userrights by userid, not username. (action=userrights) Thanks.
If you set the 'username' field as "#1111" where 1111 is the user id, it'll work.
Change 101502 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Explicitly support user id in action=userrights https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/101502
(In reply to comment #1) But I imagine the request here is to add a userid parameter to action=userrights, which you seem to have understood. ;-)

Change merged. It should be deployed with 1.23wmf8, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.23/Roadmap for the schedule.
