Huji removed a project: MediaWiki-User-management. Huji claimed this task. Huji added a comment.
I think I found the problem. Removing the MW tag, because this is indeed a Pywikibot bug. And my guess was on point: hard coded "sysop" values are the cause. You can find them here <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBC/browse/master/pywikibot/site.py$5910> and here <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBC/browse/master/pywikibot/site.py$5968>. Essentially, Pywikibot is being presumptuous that *only* sysops can block. This is wrong, and instead of checking the user group, the rights should be checked. I will submit a patch shortly, which fixes my problem and also avoids other similar problems in the future.
