ACCESS

The ACCESS command is used to manage access lists for various objects, typically users or channels. It has several forms:

Listing Access Entries

Usage: ACCESS <object> LIST
Lists the current access entries for the specified <object>.

Adding or Deleting Access Entries

Usage: ACCESS <object> ADD | DELETE <level> <mask> <timeout> [:<reason>]
<level> The access level to add or delete (see below).
<mask> The hostmask or nickname to which the access level applies.
<timeout> The duration (in seconds) for which the access is valid. A value of 0 indicates permanent access.
<reason> (Optional) A reason for the access entry.

Clearing Access Entries

Usage: ACCESS <object> CLEAR [<level>]
Clears access entries for the specified <object>. If <level> is specified, only entries with that level are cleared; otherwise, all entries are cleared.

Access Levels

The following access levels are defined:

• Zap Reserved for future use.
• Deny Explicitly denies access.
• Shun Temporarily denies access.
• Grant Grants basic access.

• Invite Grants the ability to invite others to the channel.
• Voice Grants permission to speak in moderated channels.
• Aide Grants limited operator privileges (Half-Operator).
• Host Grants elevated operator privileges.
• Owner Grants full control over the object.
