Operclass permissions

This page shows the permissions that can be used in the Operclass block (in operclass::permissions, the new name since UnrealIRCd 4.2.1). Refer to that article for more information.

Catagories

Since UnrealIRCd 4.2.1 permissions are carefully grouped in the following catagories:

Permission category	Description	Example commands and actions that are affected

client	Commands that affect other clients	client:see: USERIP, TRACE client:set: CHGIDENT, CHGHOST, CHGNAME
immune	Server settings that the IRCOp is immune to	Jointhrottle, flooding, banned nicks, spamfilter, ..
kill	The ability to kill users	KILL
channel	Channel information and settings that the IRCOp can view or override/bypass, including OperOverride.	channel:see: Seeing secret channels in /LIST and /WHOIS, allowing /WHO while not in channel, .. channel:override: Kicking, mode changing etc. when not having chanops (+o)
route	Managing routing	SQUIT, CONNECT
sacmd	The SAxxxx commands.	SAJOIN, SAPART, SAMODE
self	Options that an IRCOp can set on itself	SETHOST, SETIDENT, receive bad dcc's, set special IRCOp user modes
