These are all channel modes that can be set. Use the command: MODE #channel +modeshere.

Normally you need channel operator status (+o, or some other level such as +h/+a/+q) if you want to change channel modes. However, IRCOp's with OperOverride privileges may bypass these restrictions. And similarly for IRCOps with access to the SAMODE command.

Access levels[edit | edit source]

These are the modes that grant a certain 'level' to a user.

Channel mode Module Description Restrictions
v chanmodes/voice Voice. This makes the user able to speak in +m/+M channels. User can also still speak if banned. May be set by +hoaq users
h chanmodes/halfop Half-Op. Gives some of the usual channel operator rights, but not all. They are basically a light version of channel ops. May be set by +oaq users
o chanmodes/chanop Channel Op. This is the channel operator privilege everyone knows about, allows the user to do almost all administrative tasks in a channel such as /KICK, /MODE, etc.. May be set by +oaq users
a chanmodes/chanadmin Channel Admin. A level above channel ops but with no special extra privileges except for one: people below chanadmin (so +h/+o) cannot KICK +a people. May be set by +q users
q chanmodes/chanowner Channel Owner. The highest level. Channel owners can't be kicked by any level below. Usually there's only one person with +q and the mode is set by services. Normal users can't set this

Note that often Services are used to manage +vhoaq lists in so called "access lists" or AOP/HOP/etc. Consult your services documentation.

Disabling levels[edit | edit source]

In UnrealIRCd 5 these are built-in modules that cannot be disabled. In UnrealIRCd 6 you can decide not to load a level by using blacklist-module, eg blacklist-module "chanmodes/chanowner"; if you don't want +q. </translate>

List modes[edit | edit source]

These are so called 'list modes'.

Channel mode Module Description Restrictions
b built-in Ban. Prevents a user from joining the channel. Requires +h or higher
e built-in Ban exception. When a user is banned (due to +b) and they are on this +e list then they may still join the channel. Requires +h or higher
I built-in Invite exception. When the channel is +i (invite only) then people on this list may still join the channel. Requires +h or higher

All these modes take a nick!user@host parameter, like: +b *!*@*.isp.com. See also Extended bans for other syntaxes (eg: +e ~c:@#channel). </translate> <translate>
