It's an old right that's now obsolete. It used to be something that we would give to people separately from some other rights - say if they were a Helper (which didn't have checkuser at the time) and needed to also be able to do checks. But now it's been rolled into any groups that need it. I think we could probably remove it now, but it's no biggy :)
