It should be noted that this RFA ended with a withdrawal (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship...) by the operator, and the bot request is no longer active.

On en.wikipedia we have a discussion about giving a user account sysop group membership at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/ProtectionBot
We are currently discussing giving this user account only the permissions from the group "registered" (or "bots") *plus* the protect permission alone (instead of the whole sysop group set of permissions).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Protectio...
Do we need a new user group for this on en.wikipedia? Maybe a new group "protect", containing the protect permission alone?
If we can show consensus for this, would a site admin/developer do this for us?
