Learn how to give yourself operator (OP) permissions on your Minecraft server.
OP (Operator) permissions give you full administrative control over your Minecraft server. With OP permissions, you can use all commands, modify the world, and manage other players.
Important: Only the server owner should have OP permissions. Giving OP to other players gives them full control over your server.
Log into your Game Panel and navigate to the Console section of your server.

In the console, type the following command (replace "YourUsername" with your actual Minecraft username):
op YourUsernameYou should see a message confirming that you now have operator permissions. You can also use the command "op" without arguments to see all current operators.
Connect to your server using your Minecraft client.
Open the chat and type the following command:
/op YourUsernameNote: You can only use this method if you already have OP permissions or if you're the server owner.
Navigate to the File Manager in your Game Panel and locate the server directory.

Find and open the "ops.json" file. Add your Minecraft username to the operators list:
Save the file and restart your server for the changes to take effect.
Only give OP permissions to trusted players who need administrative access. Consider using permission plugins for more granular control.
For larger servers, consider using plugins like LuckPerms or PermissionsEx for more advanced permission management instead of relying solely on OP.
Periodically review who has OP permissions and remove access for players who no longer need it.
Make sure you're using the correct username (case-sensitive) and that the server is running. Check the console for any error messages.
If you can't access the Game Panel console, contact support. You may need to verify your account ownership.
