GIVEOWNER
Grant channel ownership.
Syntax
X service Private message/msg X GIVEOWNER #channel <nick|#account> [code]Required access
- Signed in to X
- Owner (+n)
How it works
Recipient: An existing channel master (+m); use their nickname or #account.
Review: Run without a code first. X describes the change and gives a code valid for 2 minutes.
Result: The recipient gains +n and becomes the primary owner. Your owner access remains.
Control: The new owner can change or remove your access. Confirm only the intended recipient.
Confirmation: Codes work once and only for the issuing session, channel and recipient.
This is an additional owner grant and primary-owner change; it does not remove your existing owner access.
Parameters
- #channel
- The channel to manage; replace #channel with its actual name.
- nick|#account

Example commands
/msg X GIVEOWNER #channel #accountThis command can contain private credentials or a confirmation code. Send it privately to the intended service. Copy buttons never execute commands.
If it is refused
- Owner access (+n) is required.
- The recipient must already have master (+m) access.
