Here is some information on the AOP command:

Syntax: AOP channel ADD nick

AOP channel DEL {nick | entry-num | list}

AOP channel LIST [mask | list]

AOP channel CLEAR

Maintains the AOP (AutoOP) list for a channel. The AOP

list gives users the right to be auto-opped on your channel,

to unban or invite themselves if needed, to have their

greet message showed on join, and so on.

The AOP ADD command adds the given nickname to the

AOP list.

The AOP DEL command removes the given nick from the

AOP list. If a list of entry numbers is given, those

entries are deleted. (See the example for LIST below.)

The AOP LIST command displays the AOP list. If

a wildcard mask is given, only those entries matching the

mask are displayed. If a list of entry numbers is given,

only those entries are shown; for example:

AOP #channel LIST 2-5,7-9

Lists AOP entries numbered 2 through 5 and

7 through 9.

The AOP CLEAR command clears all entries of the

AOP list.

The AOP ADD and AOP DEL commands are limited to

SOPs or above, while the AOP CLEAR command can only

be used by the channel founder. However, any user on the

AOP list may use the AOP LIST command.

This command may have been disabled for your channel, and

in that case you need to use the access list. See

/msg ChanServ HELP ACCESS for information about the access list,

and /msg ChanServ HELP SET XOP to know how to toggle between

the access list and xOP list systems.

To add the bot to your room using the drop down menu on the advanced chat labled “BOTSERV” first select “HELP” to review the commands. This should get you going in the right direction.

Right.

If you switch from one to the other you lose the information for that setup. The access list way allows for much more detailed management but I really have never seen such a need for it. The XOP route is easier and more straight forward.

Anyone that enters a chat room first gets the @’s next to their nick signifying that they are the room’s operator. To avoid this you need to register the room with chanserv. Example: If your room’s name is MyRoom and your nickname is MyNick and you use the made up password of MyPass and the description of your room is This is My Room you would first type this:

/nickserv register MyNick MyPass

Then if you are the first in your room and you have the @’s next to your nickname you can type this to register the room:

/chanserv register #MyRoom MyPass This is My Room

Now your room is registered. Next time you enter you will not be given automatic @’s because it is registered. You will need to type this:

/nickserv identify MyPass

/chanserv op

Ok now before you can give friends access to your room they need to register their nicknames with nickserv using the /nickserv register MyNick MyPass method described above. Once they have done that you can add them to your room’s access (aop list) by typing this:

/chanserv aop #MyRoom add FriendsNick

Now when they enter your room they need to do the same thing you have to do to get @’s. They need to type:

/nickserv identify TheirPass

/chanserv op

Ok that’s about all I can think of at the moment. Have a look at the Chat Room FAQ section and also check out the Epona section to look over ChanServ, NickServ, BotServ and MemoServ information and commands.
