Removals of the administrator flag by Stewards before bureaucrats were granted the technical ability to remove it are viewable on the global rights log; so too are changes to permissions such as CheckUser and Oversight.

Indefinitely blocked non-administrators need not automatically have their rights revoked (per consensus in June 2012). However, an administrator may revoke their rights from an account that, by being blocked, also loses the trust needed for the rights assigned to it.----
