My question to you is this: Do I have to wait for this privilege to be manually updated, or perhaps was there some kind of error?

Thank you, and my apologies if this wastes someones time.

I've already fixed this.

Aure.edit: In that case, closed.

To make it clear for others reading this topic later:

This is done manually by the admin that approves your character. It sometimes happen that they forget to do so and you should indeed try to notify one of them, preferably by PM.
