The local checkuser group may be granted and removed by Stewards only.
The local checkuser group may be granted and removed by Stewards only. Temporary CheckUser access will not be granted, except for Stewards.
 
According to local policies, local checkusers may be appointed based on either local consensus or a local Arbitration Committee or similar body.
 
All users applying for local CheckUser access must either be (a) a local administrator or (b) a member of a local Arbitration Committee or similar body.
 
On any wiki, there must be at least two users with CheckUser access, or none at all. This is so that they can mutually control and confirm their actions. In the case where only one checkuser is left on a wiki (when the only other one retires or is removed), the community must appoint a new checkuser immediately (so that the number of checkusers is at least two). If the community does not do so, the remaining checkuser shall also have access removed.
