Project:Requests/RfC/Allow sysops to assign and remove the confirmed user permission

Currently Special:ListGroupRights lists a "confirmed user" group, which however can't be assigned by sysops nor bureaucrats. If sysops could do this, then Project:Requests/User rights/Mitevam could've been resolved swiftly, rather than forcing that user to either wait until at least 4 days of age or having stewards assign this. This could be useful for staff accounts, although in that case it would make sense to bundle these permissions into the autochecked group.

We probably can't lower the 4-day threshold because of the potential for abuse, but it's possible.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:16, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
