{{notice|For the purposes of coordinating editathons and other events, this group has been replaced with the Event coordinator group.}}
The accountcreator user group allows a user to bypass MediaWiki account creation throttles, as bots and administrators can, to create accounts for other users without restriction. Without receiving accountcreator access, a user may only create 6 accounts per day from the same IP, and are subject to anti-spoofing and blacklist checks against chosen usernames.
It is granted to users who are active in the account request process (ACC). Procedures for granting and revoking the right differ for each scenario.
For a guide on how to assign user rights in general, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Granting and revoking user rights.

If the user is requesting the right for the request an account process:
- Carry out general checks such as the user's contributions, talk page, block log and so on. Ensure that they can be trusted - users with the account creator right are able to ignore spoofing checks, throttle limits and most importantly the username and title blacklist.
- Confirm that the editor is active in the request an account process (which will also confirm that they are identified), by selecting their username from [https://accounts.wmflabs.org/statistics.php?page=Users the list at accounts.wmflabs.org]
- Check the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=Example account creation log] to see how they would use the extra abilities. Please make sure the accounts created by the user adhere to the username policy.
- Check with one of the Account Creation Tool admins, listed [https://accounts.wmflabs.org/statistics.php?page=Users here], either by emailing one of them directly or by emailing the tool admins at {{no spam|enwiki-acc-admins|googlegroups.com}}. This is very important because the ACC tool admins will be aware of the user's involvement in the process. This includes things which, if you don't have an ACC interface tool account, you don't have access to view.
