There are three levels of staff on the Animal Jam Wiki: Bureaucrats, Administrators and Moderators. Users can contact any staff member and request staff rights. If the user meets the conditions and there are positions, it will go to a vote between current staff. If successful, the user will be given the rights but if they are unsuccessful they can try again at a later point in time.
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group. They have the ability to promote and revoke rollback, Content Moderator, and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, they can remove their own.
