Setting a Player as Operator

Warning: Be Careful Who You Set as Operator

Setting a player as an operator gives them significant control over your server. Operators can modify game settings, manage other players, and potentially disrupt gameplay if not managed responsibly. Only set players you trust as operators to avoid any potential issues.
