"that staff and vstf (and other certain users) can issue"

The rights you need are to be a staff member, VSTF, or other certain users. You basically need to be someone with global rights given by staff to you, and this isn't generally available to regular users, local admins, or guests. It's sparingly handed out to people associated with Fandom and its staff members. You and I couldn't global ban. Sannse as a staff member definitely could global ban.
