1 Fine grained operator privileges
2 --------------------------------
3
4 Terminology:
5
6 IRCop
7 user with user mode +o, usually obtained with /oper
8 users whose operator status is indicated by a different user mode
9 than +o, or whose user mode +o is not propagated to other servers,
10 are not IRCops from atheme's point of view
11 operclass
12 group of privileges defined in an operclass{} block in atheme.conf
13 config services operator
14 user logged into an account named in an operator{} block in
15 atheme.conf
16 services operator
17 user logged into an account named in an operator{} block in
18 atheme.conf or an account granted privileges with /os soper
19
20 Note that an account cannot have both an operator{} block and privileges
21 granted with /os soper. If this happens, the privileges from /os soper
22 will be discarded.
23
24 A few privileges are granted independently of operclasses:
25
26 To all IRCops and services operators (has_any_priv()):
27 more detailed "not authorized" messages telling which priv they are
28 missing, ability to use /os help
29
30 To all config services operators:
31 account does not expire (unlike HOLD, registered channels do);
32 this is to avoid someone else registering the account and taking
33 the privs
34
35 To all services operators:
36 operations like drop, sendpass and return are restricted
37
38 All IRCops get the privileges in the "ircop" operclass. Services operators
39 get the privileges in the operclass in their operator{} block or the
40 operclass set with /os soper. However, if the operclass has the needoper
41 flag set, privileges are only granted to IRC users if they are IRCops. If
42 both conditions apply, the union of the privileges is granted.
43
44 The OperServ SPECS command shows the privileges granted to an online user
45 or operclass, in a somewhat wordy format. /stats o and SOPER LIST show all
46 services operators. SOPER LISTCLASS shows all operclasses.
47
48 Description of the privileges in operclasses:
49
50 special:ircop
51 bound to AC_IRCOP, if you still have modules using that
52
53 user:auspex
54 see the invisible about user registrations,
55 ns/us info/list mainly
56 also allows searching information about online users,
57 os rnc/rmatch/rwatch
58 user:admin
59 administer users
60 user:sendpass
61 send user passwords to their email addresses
62 user:vhost
63 set vhosts
64 user:fregister
65 use /ns fregister (contrib module) to register accounts on behalf of
66 someone else
67
68 chan:auspex
69 see the invisible about channels and channel registrations,
70 cs info/list/flags, ns/us listchans, os compare mainly
71 chan:admin
72 administer channels
73 chan:cmodes
74 change oper-only cmodes in mode locks (but only on own channels)
75 chan:joinstaffonly
76 join channels set staffonly
77
78 user:mark
79 use ns/us/cs mark and override marks
80 user:hold
81 use ns/us/cs hold to prevent things from expiring
82 user:regnolimit
83 exempt from limits on numbers of registrations (does not work
84 fully if set on the ircop operclass)
85
86 general:auspex
87 see general information about services: most privileged /stats,
88 /trace, /os modinspect, /os modlist, /os uptime
89 the idea is that this does not violate user privacy
90 general:viewprivs
91 see all operator{} blocks, see the privs users and operclasses have:
92 /stats o, /os specs
93 general:flood
94 exempt from services flood control (general::flood* in atheme.conf)
95 general:metadata
96 mess with private metadata (but only on own accounts and channels)
97 general:admin
98 restart/shutdown/rehash services, load modules, use raw/inject (if
99 globally allowed in atheme.conf), resetpass/sendpass on accounts
100 with operator{} blocks
101
102 operserv:omode
103 use /os mode
104 operserv:akill
105 use /os akill and /stats k
106 operserv:massakill
107 do mass kills and akills on channels and regular expressions
108 os clearchan/rakill/rwatch
109 this also needs chan:admin or user:auspex depending on the command
110 operserv:jupe
111 use /os jupe
112 operserv:noop
113 use /os noop
114 operserv:global
115 send global notices
116 operserv:grant
117 use /os soper add/del
