Root admins can add, delete, or wipe an aop in a room's list without being in the SOP list. A root adding an AOP will override NOOP, so you can op people whether they wish it or not. You also can add their ops immediately, without them needing to accept it. Note: There is a limit of 250 users that can be added to anAOP list.
ADD - Add a user to a room's AOP list.
DEL - Remove a user from a room's AOP list.
LIST - List the AOP list entries.
WIPE - Remove all entries from a room's AOP list.
Examples:
/msg chanserv aop #webchat ADD web
/msg chanserv aop #webchat DEL 2
/msg chanserv aop #webchat LIST
/msg chanserv aop #webchat WIPE
This gives you the ability to help any room with their AOP list. Sometimes it is easier to just fix things for someone rather than explain how they can do it for themselves. Since the ops will be added without needing to consent, you can temporarily delete them and then add them back without much inconvenience. Also, if your network has any requirements that the room is not meeting, you can enforce them. You will probably not need to use these commands, since the SOPs for the room should be able to manage their own lists, and it is unlikely for problems to arise. But in case you ever need the ability, you have it.
