Wikivoyage:Confirmed users

Confirmed users are Wikivoyagers that had their account marked as confirmed manually by a bureaucrat (as opposed to getting it automatically after 4 days).

In some situations, it is necessary for accounts to be exempted from the automated confirmation period. The  group contains the same rights as the   group, but can be granted by bureaucrats as necessary. There is no point in giving this right to a user whose account is already autoconfirmed, because it provides exactly the same abilities.
