It's beyond the scope of this guide to give help on how to use all the ChanServ powers that are granted to AOps and SOps. However, by each ability the appropriate help command is given; typing this while on IRC will provide more information.

They can kick other users from the channel.

They can change the topic of the channel.

If you as channel founder or Manager and you do not want this to happen, you can enable the OPGUARD feature. When this feature is turned on, ChanServ will not allow people to have ops (@) on a channel (even temporarily) unless they are on the AOp/SOp/Manager list or are the founder. If somebody else is given ops, ChanServ will remove their ops immediately.

Managers/SOps and AOps are people you trust enough to give them some power on your channel. Among other things, this means that they will automatically be given ops (@) when they enter. Managers can change some of the channel's settings, can add or remove SOps/AOps and AKICKs (only trusted users can gain this access). SOps also have the ability to add and remove AOps and AKICKs (permanent bans from the channel), so you should be especially careful when making people SOps.
