Hello,

Could you please raise with Legal the following proposed update at #Disclosure, bullet point #1, unless it can be done directly?

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's Special:Log/rights page for the ip-viewer right

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's [[Special:ListUsers|user list]] page for users in the <kbd>ip-viewer</kbd> group.

Reason: If this access is being granted by means of a local user right (hopefully users in global groups that have access to this will just get it through their global group instead of 700+ local user groups, please?), Special:ListUsers would be the right place to get the actual list of users for a given user right (e.g. Special:ListUsers/sysop for a list of current administrators). Special:Log/rights just displays user rights changes, but not the user actual membership.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
