User Rights refers to special privileges and tools given to active, experienced and helpful members of The Sims Wiki. These privileges are generally tiered, with acquisition and proper use of lower rights required for obtaining higher rights. These tiers are:

Unregistered users are allowed to read articles on the wiki, add comments to blogs and fanon pages, and edit pages that haven't been semi- or fully-protected. Unregistered contributors are limited in some actions, including participation in wiki discussions and voting, and the creation of fanon (they may create fanon if they intend to register, but if they do not register it will be deleted).
 * Unregistered users

in addition to the rights extended to unregistered users, regular users are allowed to edit all pages on the wiki, except those that are locked for administrators only (generally only templates and pages that are important to the function of the wiki are admin-only protected), and are allowed to participate in discussions, votes and moves for consensus. They are allowed to create fanon content. In order to become a regular user, Unregistered users must register with Wikia and begin contributing to The Sims Wiki.
 * Regular Users

Rollbackers are a group of more experienced wiki editors. In addition to the privileges extended to regular users, Rollbackers are able to quickly and easily revert vandalism by other users, by use of the Rollback tool. Rollback rights are given out only when requested, and only if the user shows a history of strong contributions, preferably also including some anti-vandalism work. Requests for Rollback rights are made here.

Administrators are very frequent and experienced contributors to the wiki. They are entrusted with ensuring the function of the wiki through vandalism prevention, issuing blocks and warnings to users if necessary. Administrators are able to initiate and end formal votes or drives for consensus, and are able to edit pages, such as MediaWiki pages, that affect the functions of the wiki itself. Rollback rights are a prerequisite for Administrative rights. Administrative rights can be requested here.
 * Administrators

Bureaucrats are among the most active, experienced and trusted wiki editors. Bureuacrats function as administrators and perform the same functions, but have the added ability to control user rights of other users. Administrative rights are a prerequisite for Bureaucrat rights. Bureaucrat rights can be requested here.

My request for new rights was turned down
If you applied for Rollbacker, Administrator or Bureaucrat rights but were denied, it may be for a number of reasons. In order to apply for Administratorship, you must have rollback rights. In order to apply for bureaucratship, you must have administrator rights. Be sure to obtain lower-tiered rights before applying for higher-tiered ones. Often, new users show a great proficiency for wiki editing. However, they may be turned down for new user rights, especially if applying for Administrative rights. This is because, while showing competency at wiki editing is definitely important, it is equally important that a candidate for administratorship be able to function as a member of the community, and have a long history of cooperation with the community. Often waiting another month or two is all it takes to demonstrate readiness.
