`<account name>` | A unique name to identify this account (usually the `nick` of the user, but it can be any identifier).
`<channel>` | The channel this user belongs to; use `global` for all channels. This field cannot be changed without removing and re-adding the user.

#### Admin levels
This is a list of admin commands allowed by each admin level, by default. You
can use [`cmdset`](#cmdset) to adjust any command's admin level.
Higher level admins have access to all lower level admin commands.
Note that Plugins may also add new admin commands, so this list may be incomplete
if you have third-party Plugins loaded.
Level | Commands
--- | ---
10 | actiontrigger, antispam, whitelist, blacklist, chanlist, ban, unban, mute, unmute, op, deop, voice, devoice, invite, kick, ignore, unignore
40 | chanset, chanunset, chanadd, chanrem, join, part, mode

90 | sl, plug, unplug, replug, load, unload, reload, export, rebuildaliases, refresh, die
99 | eval

Sets [metadata](#user-metadata-list) or [user-capabilities](#user-capabilities-list) for a user account. You can use the `account name` field or the `hostmask` field that was set via the [`useradd`](#useradd) command. See also: [user metadata list](#user-metadata-list).
If `key` is omitted, it will list all the keys and values that are set. If `value` is omitted, it will show the value for `key`.
Usage: `userset [channel] <account name or hostmask> [<key> [value]]`
### userunset

When `[channel]` is omitted and the command is used from private message, it will

## User capabilities
PBot uses a user-capability system to control what users can and cannot do.
### cap
Use the `cap` command to list capabilities, to manage capability groups and to
see what capabilities a user has.
Usage:
cap list [capability] |
cap group <existing or new capability group> <existing capability> |
cap ungroup <existing capability group> <grouped capability> |
cap userhas <user> [capability]
#### Listing capabilities
Use `cap list [capability]` to list user-capabilities.
If `[capability]` is omitted, the command will list all available capabilities.
<pragma-> cap list
<PBot> Capabilities: admin (7 caps), botowner (60 caps), can-ban (1 cap), can-deop (1 cap),
can-devoice (1 cap), can-mode-any (53 caps), can-op (1 cap), can-unban (1 cap),
chanop (10 caps), can-akalink, can-akaunlink, can-antispam, can-blacklist, ...
<!-- -->
<pragma-> cap list chanop
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for chanop: can-ban (1 cap), can-deop (1 cap), can-devoice (1 cap),
can-mute (1 cap), can-op (1 cap), can-unban (1 cap), can-unmute (1 cap), can-voice (1 cap),
can-invite, can-kick
<!-- -->
<pragma-> cap list can-ban
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for can-ban: can-mode-b
#### Grouping capabilities
Capabilities can be grouped together into a collection, which can then be applied to a user.
Capability groups can containing nested groups.
In the [listing capabilities](#listing-capabilities) example, the `admin` capability is
a group containing seven capabilities, including the `chanop` capability group which
itself contains 10 capabilities.
<pragma-> cap list admin
<PBot> chanop (10 caps), can-join, can-part, can-useradd, can-userdel,
can-userset, can-userunset
##### Creating a new group or adding to an existing group
To create a new capability group or to add capabilities to an existing group,
use the `cap group` command.
Usage: `cap group <existing or new capability group> <existing capability>`
For example, to create a new capability group called `moderator` who can strictly
only set `mode +m` or `mode -m` and use the `voice` and `devoice` commands:
<pragma-> cap group moderator can-voice
<pragma-> cap group moderator can-devoice
<pragma-> cap group moderator can-mode
<pragma-> cap group moderator can-mode-m
<!-- -->
<pragma-> cap list moderator
<PBot> Grouped capabilities for moderator: can-devoice (1 cap), can-voice (1 cap),
can-mode, can-mode-m
Then you can set this capability group on users with the [`userset`](#userset) command.
##### Removing capabilites from a group or deleting a group
To remove capabilities from a group or to delete a group, use the `cap ungroup`
command.
Usage: `cap ungroup <existing capability group> <grouped capability>`
When the last capability is removed from a group, the group itself will be deleted.
#### Giving capabilities to users
To give capabilities to a user, use the [`useradd`](#useradd) or the [`userset`](#userset) commands.
<pragma-> useradd alice global alice!*@* moderator
or
<pragma-> userset alice moderator 1
#### Checking user capabilities
To see what capabilities a user account has, use the `cap userhas` command.
Usage: `cap userhas <user> [capability]`
If the `[capability]` argument is omitted, the command will list all capability
groups and capabilities the user account has.
If the `[capability]` argument is provided, the command will determine if the
capability is granted to the user account.
<pragma-> cap userhas alice
<PBot> User aliace has capabilities: moderator (4 caps)
<!-- -->
<pragma-> cap userhas alice can-voice
<PBot> Yes. User alice has capability can-voice.
<!-- -->
<pragma-> cap userhas alice can-op
<PBot> No. User alice does not have capability can-op.
#### User capabilities list
This is a list of built-in capability groups and capabilities. You can create
new custom capability groups with the [`cap group`](#creating-a-new-group-or-adding-to-an-existing-group) command.
Please note that PBot is sometimes updated more frequently than this list is updated. To see the most
current list of capabilities, use the [`cap list`](#listing-capabilities) command.
Name | Description
--- | ---
botowner | The most powerful capability group. Contains all capabilities.
admin | The admin capability group. Contains the basic administrative capabilities.
chanop | Channel operator capability group. Contains the basic channel management capabilities.
chanmod | Channel moderator capability group. Grants `can-voice`, `can-devoice` and the use of the `mod` command without being voiced.
can-<cmd> | If a command `<cmd>` has the `cap-required` [command metadata](#command-metadata-list) then the `can-<cmd>` capability is required to invoke it. For example, the `op` command requires the `can-op` capability.
can-mode-<letter> | Allows the `mode` command to set mode `<letter>`. For example, to allow a user to set `mode +m` give them the `can-mode` and `can-mode-m` capabilities.
can-modify-capabilities | Allows the user to use the [`useradd`](#useradd) or [`userset`](#userset) commands to add or remove capabilities from users.
can-group-capabilities | Allows the user to use the `cap group` command to modify capability groups.
can-ungroup-capabilities | Allows the user to use the `cap ungroup` command to modify capability groups.
