Hi, due to countinuos vandalism by many sock account. we feel that some bureucrats should have check user right.We donot want bureacrats to give this right to others but to use this group right by adding and removing themself into check user group.Community consensus is at link-http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE:%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%8C%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%96_20#Enable_Some_User_Groups

From my understanding checkusers need to hand over ID to the foundation, which is why they [the user group] are only handled by stewards at meta.

Reassigning to Wikimedia.

I don't think that checkuser can be assinged to the bureaucrat right. It's
technically possible, but I doubt the WMF would allow that.

Ok, if it is possible then do.Otherwise we will contact any stewards for further query and procedure.If it is a privacy issue then this right may be partially given.

Closing this bug. This isn't a matter for Wikimedia system administrators, this is a matter for Wikimedia stewards.
