What is RfA
Request for adminship also know as the RfA is a process every Wikipedia user has to go through in order to become an administrator. The Wikipedia community get's to decide in a democratic fashion who will get access to the admin tools in order to help with the maintenance of the site. User's can be self-nominated or put up for nomination by another user who think's they are up to the tasks.
The Process
The Wiki community is very careful on to whom administrative power is given to; since the power is difficult to revoke. The user has to go through a 7 day long discussion by other members of the community to see if they possess the skills needed. Users then vote for the user by giving a support/neutral/support notification. Bureaucrat are ultimately the ones that decide if the user is successful or unsuccessful in being an administrator.
