+=== 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, by policy, restricted for use only by [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety|Trust and Safety]].

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

+==== Local {{int:Group-steward}} group ====
+'''Steward''' is a special local group rarely granted by [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|{{int:Group-steward}}]] to themselves. This local group differs from the Steward global group in that this group only affects Stewards locally on one wiki. Stewards typically assign themselves this group to manipulate local permissions while on that wiki instead of using Meta to remotely change permissions. Typically, this is in certain circumstances where the local wiki has a custom local user group that does not exist on Meta Wiki and temporarily adding the local <code>bureaucrat</code> to themselves would not work as the custom local user group is hierarchically higher than the local bureaucrat user group.
