Giving Operator (OP) to a Player

Operators (OPs) have access to a range of commands that are used to help moderate/ manage a Minecraft server.
A few of the available commands for Ops are changing a player's game mode, updating server difficulty, giving items, kicking and banning players, whitelisting, and even stopping and restarting a server.

Using the Server Console

1. Access your server's control panel and navigate to Console.

2. On the console, enter op <username>. Replacing <username> with the player you want to OP.

3. Hit enter. You will receive a confirmation message indicating that the player has been made as an operator.

If the username of the player you're trying to OP has a space in their name, you will have to surround their username with quotes, like so: op "Best Minecraft Player12"
