Several methods to use multiple bot accountsDue to T71283 sysop account setting was given up with release 3.0.20200111. On the other hand you may have multiple bot accounts, e.g. onw for production system and one for test purposes. And none of them may be part of the sysop group. How can you use

In my case, I would first run a script to select which user I needed
and that script copied the appropriate user-config file. After that, I
would run a second script that used pywikibot. I have not tried
YiFei Zhu's solution.
All I will say is that it is the documented API [1] to use nn-default
usernames, and I have used it before, years ago. If it doesn't work
now it is a bug.

Not sure if this works, as I had the feeling the parameter user in the
constructor was more or less irrelevant. (Provided X Site Object got Y
from user-config.py)

Now I don't use two accounts in the same script invocation. But I use a
collection of scripts (self written, not part of pywikibot) and use them
with different bot accounts. How to use different accounts in the same
invocation, that I don't know. Can someone other help, because I see it
how You use different configs in the same script?
PYWIKIBOT_DIR points to one config.
It used to be possible to specify normal and admin account in the same
user-config.py
As I I understand it is not the case anymore.
What I need is a possibility to edit with a normal bot account and, for
Good work!

Oh. At one time I was using two accounts at one site and I used a
script to copy the wanted user-config.py to the pywikibot directory.
If I need that again, I'll try to remember to use the env variable.

Also in addition. The scoping of the OAuth token works perfectly. The
sysop bot has only the protect right.

Thanks Johnuniq and also xqt for the good hints,
at last I found my mistake. I'm operating two bot accounts at the
moment. One does all the heavy lifting, but hasn't any sysop rights. The
other one is for sysop actions only (was a wish by the community).
The solution provided by piwikibot is
I upgraded all my pip modules yesterday, including pywikibot. Your

might upgrade although that is unlikely to help.
Browsing around the source shows that @need_right('protect') is in

This experiment was the initial reason for my post. I have one bot

I don't know but many years ago I ran an admin bot on a non-WMF wiki.
A separate sysopnames variable was used to specify a user with admin
credentials. Sysopnames was removed from pywikibot and whereas I've
never used it, the theory is that now you have only a single bot user

No worries,
I do software dev for a living. It's all local and no one is checking in
credentials. But that wasn't really the question here.

Be very wary of how you store credentials. You should make sure they're in a
file which is read-protected, and not in source control. Otherwise the entire
