==Access requirements==
UTRS access is limited to users who have undergone a community vetting process for higher tool access such as sysops, bureaucrats, and stewards in addition to Wikimedia Foundation Community Advocacy staff. Access is granted through an admin registration screen and may take 24-48 hours to complete.
==Reviewing an appeal==
Administrators reviewing an appeal should take the time to consider all elements of the appeal. The UTRS interface will gather some information about the block affecting the user but it may also require the reviewing administrator to check on Wikipedia for more information. Administrators may use the interface to assist in reviewing the appeal, but ultimately each review is an individual administrator responsibility. Generally each appeal should follow this process:
# Direct appeals containing threats, slander, and abusive language to Tool Admins for UTRS ban
# Determine whether this appeal contains all needed information. If the block is an autoblock, the reviewing administrator may need to send an email to the appellate to ask for their IP address.
# If the block is a checkuser block, send it to review by checkusers
# If the block is an open proxy block, send it to review by [[WP:OPP]]
# If the block is an Arbcom block, direct the user to Arbcom list
# If the block is for anonymous only IPs, direct the user to [[WP:ACC]]
# Determine the block on it's merits to accept or decline using [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblocking]]
# If the unblock has been repeatedly declined and resubmitted, consider directing the ticket to Tool Admins for temporary UTRS ban
