Usermode

Access levels

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

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>

This is the list of all user modes that can be set on a user. You can only set user modes on yourself and not on other users. Use the command: MODE yournick +modeshere.

User mode	Module	Description	Restrictions
B	usermodes/bot	Marks you as being a bot. This will add a line to /WHOIS so people can easily recognize bots.
D	usermodes/privdeaf	Makes it so you can not receive private messages (PM's) from anyone except IRCOps, servers and services.
G	usermodes/censor	Swear filter: filters out all the "bad words" configured in the Badword block
H	built-in	Hide IRCop status. Regular users using /WHOIS or other commands will not see that you are an IRC Operator.	IRCOp-only
i	built-in	Makes you so called 'invisible'. A confusing term to mean that you're just hidden from /WHO and /NAMES if queried by someone outside the channel. Normally set by default through set::modes-on-connect and often by the users' IRC client as well.
o	built-in	IRC Operator	Set by server
p	usermodes/privacy	Hide channels you are in from /WHOIS, for extra privacy.
q	usermodes/nokick	Unkickable (only by U:lines, eg: services)	IRCOp-only (but not all)

R	usermodes/regonlymsg	Only receive private messages from users who are "registered users" (authenticated by Services)
S	usermodes/servicebot	User is a services bot (gives some extra protection)	Services-only
T	usermodes/noctcp	Prevents you from receiving CTCP's.
t	built-in	Indicates you are using a /VHOST	Set by server upon /VHOST, /OPER, /*HOST, ..
W	usermodes/showwhois	Lets you see when people do a /WHOIS on you.	IRCOp-only
w	built-in	Can listen to wallops messages (/WALLOPS from IRCOps')
x	built-in	Gives you a hidden / cloaked hostname.
Z	usermodes/secureonlymsg	Allows only users on a secure connection to send you private messages/notices/CTCPs. Conversely, you can't send any such messages to non-secure users either.
