OPER

    Usage: OPER

Use /as oper to add or delete the IRC Operators defined on your system. Options include access masks, flags or capabilities. If you type /as oper the server will respond with:

Commands:
ADD Add IRC Operators
DEL Delete current IRC Operators
ACCESS Change or modify Operators
LIST Lists the settings for a specific IRCop
FLAG Set the access permissions
PASSWORD Change an Operator password

When oper is the only parameter used it will list all the opers currently configured on the server.

 

    Example: /as oper default
OPER ADD
    Usage: OPER <nick> ADD <password> [<flags>]

This will add an IRC Operator to your server. It should be noted that you should still add hostmasks to the Operator definition for security purposes.

 

    Example: /as oper web add mypass a
OPER ACCESS
    Usage: OPER <nick> ACCESS [add|del|list] [mask]

This allows you to add hostmasks to operators that you have defined. Hostmasks will limit the operator to logging on from certain hostnames. This is a security feature to ensure that people cannot "hack" into your server as they can cause a great deal of trouble if they do.

 

OPER ACCESS ADD
    Usage: OPER <nick> ACCESS ADD [mask]

This will add hostmasks to your Operator definition. Hostmasks are used to prevent people from gaining operator status on your server from systems that you haven't defined. It is very important that you add proper masks to each operator definition.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster access add *@*.webmaster.com
OPER ACCESS LIST
    Usage: OPER <nick> ACCESS LIST

Lists all the current access masks that an oper has currently defined.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster access list
OPER ACCESS DEL
    Usage: OPER <nick> ACCESS DEL [mask]

Deletes a specific operator hostmask from a specific IRC Operator definition.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster access del *@*.webmaster.com
OPER PASSWORD
    Usage: OPER <nick> PASSWORD <NEWPASS>

This command will change an operators password on the server. Make sure you never give out passwords other than to the person it belongs to.

 

    Example: /as oper web password %this%is%the%new%pass%

OPER FLAG

    Usage: OPER <nick> FLAG [add|del|list] [flags]

There are several different access levels within IRC which are represented by single latter flags. In order they are:
Level Flag
Web Administration Configuration panel c
Global Operator g
Services Administrator s
Server Administrator a

If none of these flags are used the operator will be defined as a local operator. Giving someone the c flag allows them access to the web based and online configurations.

 

OPER FLAG ADD
    Usage: OPER <nick> FLAG ADD [flags]

Adds a specific flag as noted above to an IRC Operator definition.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster flag add ag
OPER FLAG LIST
    Usage: OPER <nick> FLAG LIST

Will list all the current flags for the designated operator.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster flag list
OPER FLAG DEL
    Usage: OPER <nick> FLAG DEL [flags]

Use this command to delete a specific operator flag.

 

    Example: /as oper webmaster flag del c
