Editing User groups (section)

=== Restricted local user groups ===

On all wikis, a few groups exist which are not assignable by bureaucrats. These groups are only assignable by users in global groups with the <code>userrights</code>/<code>userrights-interwiki</code> permission in their toolset as all these user groups wield an immense amount of power locally.

==== {{int:Group-checkuser}} ==== 
{{hatnote|For more information (including how to request one), please see [[Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser|CheckUser]].}}
'''CheckUser''' is a special group and tool which allows its wielders (called {{int:Group-checkuser}}) to check users' IP addresses, user-agents, along with some other information. This permission is only used when investigating sockpuppetry or platform abuse and is not assignable by local bureaucrats. CheckUser is restricted for use only by [[Stewards]]

==== {{int:Group-suppress}} ==== 
{{hatnote|For more information, please see [[Suppression]]}}

'''Suppressor''' is a special group which allows its wielders (called {{int:Group-Suppressor}}) to completely suppress and hide log entries and revisions from everyone who is not an {{int:Group-Suppressor}}, including local administrators and even Stewards themselves when they do not have the <code>Suppressor</code> flag on. It is typically only used to hide personal information and is not assignable by local bureaucrats. Oversight is restricted for use only by [[Stewards]]
