Phabricator Ban is a web interface that allows us to delegate the right to disable most Phabricator user accounts to more Wikimedia community members. The phab-ban system cannot be used to disable Phabricator user accounts with "admin" rights. It also cannot be used to re-enable any Phabricator user accounts.
