Yes, you need the Checkuser OAuth grant which will then let you use the checkuser API which is only available for users with checkuser access. I'm pretty sure consumers can be modified but if not you can create a new one and re-apply for approval, although keep in mind with the Checkuser right it becomes a great power comes great responsibility thing

I've been experimenting with adding some checkuser functionality to spi-tools, and scratching my head over why I'm getting permissiondenied errors. I think I finally figured it out. It looks like my OAuth consumer https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/35ecb3674a09ea495c0f89abb2382acb doesn't have the checkuser right. So, how do I move forward? Can I add the checkuser right to my consumer key, or do I just throw my consumer key away and create a new one with the checkuser right added?
And, just to double-check, I'm assuming that adding the checkuser right to my consumer doesn't actually do anything unless the user who goes through the OAuth flow also has checkuser themselves, right?
