Many administrative actions on an IRC server are performed "in-band" as IRC commands sent from a client. The client in question must be an IRC operator ("oper", "ircop"). The easiest way to become an operator on your new Ergo instance is first to pick a strong, secure password, then "hash" it using the `ergo genpasswd` command (run `ergo genpasswd` from the command line, then enter your password twice), then copy the resulting hash into the `opers` section of your `ircd.yaml` file. Then you can become an operator by issuing the IRC command: `/oper admin mysecretpassword`.
The operator defined in the default configuration file is named `admin` and has full administrative privileges on the server; see the `oper-classes` and `opers` blocks for information on how to define additional operators, or less privileged operators.
