Technically, you don't. According to MediaWiki you still have these rights:
isAllowed('edit') returns true. However, executing certain actions requires
more than just having the right rights, some require you not to be blocked or
read-only mode to be off. In other words, having a certain right and being able
to execute a certain action are not the same things.
