You can see your own editing rank from the [[Waze Map Editor]] (WME) on the top left of the screen. Your rank appears as a series of cones with a number. In the WME when you select a segment, the properties drawer will show you the name of the editor who created and last modified the segment. The number in parenthesis is the rank system scale.

If your rank is lower than what it should be (based on the criteria below), and you are NOT in the USA, please contact
[http://support.google.com/waze/answer/6135832?hl=en Support] to have the team look into the situation. Currently moving from one rank to the next higher rank is not automatic and needs assistance from Waze support.  USA based editors should refer to the [[Editing rank USA|Editing rank USA section]].
 
{{Red|Note: Changes have been made to ranks {{as of|July 2014|lc=yes}}. Some of these changes are still in discussion and may continue to change beyond what is shown below.}}
 
Note that this chart is a general world-wide example. Some countries with Self-Management may have different ranking systems. Please check specific countries for variations.

This is not a separate editing rank, but the old rank system used that term to refer to country managers (CM). In some countries with rank self management you will also need approval from the other CMs. In smaller countries with no current CM, you can request CM status at a lower rank and if appropriate you may be granted.
