--- Comment #1 from [email protected] ---
Flow browser tests, including flow_logged_in.feature, assume $MEDIAWIKI_USER
can
block users and delete and suppress topics and posts. This means pointing tests
at an arbitrary MEDIAWIKI_URL will fail until an admin grants scary permissions
to that user.

We could change tests to

  Pending the current user can block user  ( suppress topics|delete topics)

and then as I understand it they'll report as skipped rather than failed.

A test API call that gets the current user's rights would be extremely useful,
that could be a dependent bug.
