It is fairly easy to create a new user group with just that one right.

Hello, On Wikipedia the right to import articles via Special:Import is bound to the user group 'administrator' by default.
On nds.wp we discussed that it would be useful for us if we could give import rights to some trusted users without giving them admin rights. It would be unnecessary overhead if these users have to contact an admin every time they want to translate an article from another wiki.
Could you give me some technical advice how we could do this and how much effort it is? What would be the easiest way to achieve this and what exactly would I have to request on Bugzilla to get the functionality?
There seems to be the user group ''importer' but apparently it has additional rights to the import rights of an admin and cannot be used to achieve what we want, am I right? So I guess we need to create a new separate user group?
Thank You User:Slomox Marcus Buck
