@3primetime3: Bumped it so it notified you.

I do believe admins can promote users to other groups outside of the labelled 'sysop'. Bureaucrats solely have the ability to promote other sysops, and interestingly require 'sysop' status in order to gain such regular admin powers, although obviously, they can promote themselves. Got locked out of my own userpage once as a bureaucrat!
