I don't think there is much I can do to test this, as I don't have a user in the CheckUser group on testwiki.

I see on https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights that the "CheckUser" group has "investigate" right. No other group has that right (that I can see).

Thanks Dom. I have requested Sydney to grant you checkuser rights on testwiki so you can test features there more easily in the future.
