Administrators assume these responsibilities as volunteers after undergoing a [[Charity]]-run review process. They might be employees of the Charity. Using their tools, they must never use them to gain an advantage in a dispute in which they were involved. They are expected to observe a high standard of conduct, to use the tools fairly, and - better to repeat - '''never''' to use them to gain advantage in a dispute.

Administrators must '''never''' share their password or account with any other person, for any reason. If they find out their password has been compromised, or their account has been otherwise compromised (even by an editor or individual they know and trust), they should attempt to change it immediately, or otherwise report it to a bureaucrat for temporary desysopping. Users who fail to report unauthorized use of their account will be desysopped. Unauthorized use is considered 'controversial circumstance', and access will not be automatically restored.
