Using /access to Manage Channel Permissions
The /access command, also known as /chanserv access, lets a channel owner set permissions based on numerical values / permission names
Basic Syntax:
/access #channel add user level
For example:
/access #balcony add clint AUTOVOICE
/access #balcony add westwood 10
This gives clint voice automatically on join (default level: 3)
This gives westwood protect automatically on join (also level: 10)
To list the current access entries:
/access #channel list
Common Access Levels
Below are some of the default access settings for a newly registered channel:
- Level 1–5: Basic channel functions (kick, voice, topic)
- Level 10: Administration (akick, badwords, memo, access changes)
- Level 9999: Full control (mode, assign bot, ownerme, autoprotection)
- Level 10000: Founder status – this is the highest level possible
Examples of Permissions
The example below is a tidied permission map for #welrod. Levels are grouped to show what each rank can do and where founder-only controls begin.

You can adjust required access levels per permission using the LEVELS command configuration or leave them at their defaults. Access lists give you fine-grained control and are well-suited to tightly governed channels or structured communities
