   4       <title>Meanings of oper privileges</title>
   5       <para>
   6         These are flags in operator{}.
   7         The letter appears after opering up and in /stats o; an uppercase
   8         letter means the privilege is possessed, lowercase means it is not.
   9       </para>
  10       <sect2>
  11         <title>admin (A), server administrator</title>
  12         <para>
  13           Various privileges intended for server administrators.
  14           Among other things, this automatically sets umode +a and allows
  15           loading modules.
  16         </para>
  17       </sect2>
  18       <sect2>
  19         <title>remoteban (B), set remote bans</title>
  20         <para>
  21           This grants the ability to use the ON argument on KLINE/XLINE/RESV
  22           and UNKLINE/UNXLINE/UNRESV to set and unset bans on other servers,
  23           and the server argument on REHASH.
  24           This is only allowed if the oper may perform the action locally,
  25           and if the remote server has a shared{} block.
  26         </para>
  27         <note><para>
  28           If a cluster{} block is present, bans are sent remotely even
  29           if the oper does not have remoteban privilege.
  30         </para></note>
  31       </sect2>
  32       <sect2>
  33         <title>local_kill (C), kill local users</title>
  34         <para>
  35           This grants permission to use KILL on users on the same server,
  36           disconnecting them from the network.
  37         </para>
  38       </sect2>
  39       <sect2>
  40         <title>die (D), die and restart</title>
  41         <para>
  42           This grants permission to use DIE and RESTART, shutting down
  43           or restarting the server.
  44         </para>
  45       </sect2>
  46       <sect2>
  47         <title>gline (G), gline</title>
  48         <para>
  49           This allows using GLINE (network wide temp bans if 3 opers agree).
  50           If unkline privilege is also possessed, allow UNGLINE (remove gline
  51           locally).
  52         </para>
  53       </sect2>
  54       <sect2>
  55         <title>rehash (H), rehash</title>
  56         <para>
  57           Allows using the REHASH command, to rehash various configuration
  58           files or clear certain lists.
  59         </para>
  60       </sect2>
  61       <sect2>
  62         <title>kline (K), kline and dline</title>
  63         <para>
  64           Allows using KLINE and DLINE, to ban users by user@host mask
  65           or IP address.
  66         </para>
  67       </sect2>
  68       <sect2>

  70         <para>
  71           Allows using the OPERWALL command and umode +z to send and
  72           receive operwalls.
  73         </para>
  74       </sect2>
  75       <sect2>
  76         <title>nick_changes (N), see nick changes</title>
  77         <para>
  78           Allows using snomask +n to see local client nick changes.
  79           This is designed for monitor bots.
  80         </para>
  81       </sect2>
  82       <sect2>
  83         <title>global_kill (O), global kill</title>
  84         <para>
  85           Allows using KILL on users on any server.
  86         </para>
  87       </sect2>
  88       <sect2>
  89         <title>hidden_oper (P), hide from /stats p</title>
  90         <para>
  91           This privilege currently does nothing, but was designed
  92           to hide bots from /stats p so users will not message them
  93           for help.
  94         </para>
  95       </sect2>
  96       <sect2>
  97         <title>remote (R), remote routing</title>
  98         <para>
  99           This allows using the third argument of the CONNECT command, to
 100           instruct another server to connect somewhere, and using SQUIT
 101           with an argument that is not locally connected.
 102           (In both cases all opers with +w set will be notified.)
 103         </para>
 104       </sect2>
 105       <sect2>
 106         <title>oper_spy (S), use operspy</title>
 107         <para>
 108           This allows using /mode !#channel, /whois !nick, /who !#channel,
 109           /chantrace !#channel, /who !mask, /masktrace !user@host :gecos
 110           and /scan umodes +modes-modes global list to see through secret
 111           channels, invisible users, etc.
 112         </para>
 113         <para>
 114           All operspy usage is broadcasted to opers with snomask +Z set
 115           (on the entire network) and optionally logged.
 116           If you grant this to anyone, it is a good idea to establish
 117           concrete policies describing what it is to be used for, and
 118           what not.
 119         </para>
 120         <para>
 121           If operspy_dont_care_user_info is enabled, /who mask is operspy
 122           also, and /who !mask, /who mask, /masktrace !user@host :gecos
 123           and /scan umodes +modes-modes global list do not generate +Z notices
 124           or logs.
 125         </para>
 126       </sect2>
 127       <sect2>
 128         <title>unkline (U), unkline</title>
 129         <para>
 130           Allows using UNKLINE and UNDLINE, and if gline privilege is also
 131           possessed, UNGLINE.
 132         </para>
 133       </sect2>
 134       <sect2>
 135         <title>xline (X), xline and unxline</title>
 136         <para>
 137           Allows using XLINE and UNXLINE, to ban/unban users by realname.
 138         </para>
 139       </sect2>
 140       <sect2>
 141         <title>hidden_admin, hidden administrator</title>
 142         <para>
 143           This grants everything granted to the admin privilege,
 144           except the ability to set umode +a. If both admin and hidden_admin
 145           are possessed, umode +a can still not be used.
 146         </para>
 147         <note><para>
 148           This privilege does not appear in /stats o or oper up notices.
 149         </para></note>
