Introduction
Separate to the lock system used to protect the map some features of the WME are restricted until you reach a certain Editor Rank. The rank these features become available has been discussed and decided by the UK Country Admins.
Rank 2
Closing any URs, MPs
- Location: Ensure the relevant options are visible in the layers menu.
- Function: Allowed to close URs & MPs created by any users and themselves.
Deleting segments
- Function: Allowed to delete any segment not created by themselves (respecting lock levels).
Approve Places
- Location: Ensure that Place Update Requests are visible in the layers menu.

Rank 3
Setting difficult turns

Real time closures

Rank 6
Restricted Areas
- Location: Within the top menu bar.
- Function: Allows the editing of a Restricted Area by setting vehicle / time restrictions (similar to TBRs), and associate passes. Currently the UK has the London CCZ & ULEZ mapped. The expected implementation of Clean Air Zones will also use this feature.
