Multiple nicknames can be separated by a space.

Dropping a channel will forfeit ownership and ChanServ will no longer have control over it.

After issuing that command, chanserv will give you an authorization code that you must enter in order to confirm the drop request.
Example:
/chanserv drop #Fred

Mass Deopping is removing the operator status of a great deal of operators at once. In this case, ChanServ will deop anyone who has a lesser status on the channel than the person issuing the command.
AOp’s
AOps can only use this command on channels that have the opguard option shut off. Because this command will only deop anyone who has a lesser status than you, an AOp can only deop users who have been temporarily given operator status through mode +o.
SOp’s
When an SOp uses this command, they will deop anyone on the channel who is an AOp or below.
Manager’s
When a Manager uses this command, they will deop anyone on the channel who is an SOp or below.
Founder
When the founder uses this command, they will deop everyone on the channel, excluding themselves.
Example:
/chanserv mdeop #fred
Masskicking removes of all persons on a channel. Everyone in the channel will be kicked and banned.
If you are outranked by any individuals on the channel, this command will NOT be accepted. For example, if you were an SOp, and there is a manager or founder in the channel, you cannot issue the command.
Example:
/chanserv mkick #fred
If you have access to a channel (AOp+), you can use ChanServ to op user(s) on a channel.
Multiple nicknames can be separated by a space.
Examples:
/chanserv op #fred Bob
/chanserv op #fred Bob Simon Kevin John Paul
Channel registration is required in order for ChanServ to aid you with routine functions of managing a channel.
You must be identified to a registered nickname in order to register a channel.
A guide to registering your channel is available here.
When a channel founder’s nickname expires, the successor will be sent an AUTH code by MemoServ to gain access to the channel.
If the first memo fails, the successor can re-request the AUTH code to be sent to them again through MemoServ using the following command.
Example:
/chanserv sendauth #fred
The SENDPASS command will allow a user to request a password reset on their channel.
The user will receive an email with an AUTH code that, when entered, will reset the channel password to a new random password. This command should not be relied on as an alternative to managing your own passwords, but only as a “backup” in case of extreme situations.
Please remember that you are still responsible for remembering your passwords and keeping them private.
Example:
/chanserv sendpass #fred fred@superfastinternet.com
See here for details on SET commands
An SOp is a user with high privileges on a channel; the main one being that they can add and remove AOp’s and AKick’s on the channel list.

Examples to LIST (A):
/chanserv sop #fred list
/chanserv sop #fred list *bob*
Examples to ADD (M):
/chanserv sop #fred add Bob
/chanserv sop #fred add *!*@superfastinternet.com
Example to REMOVE (M):
/chanserv sop #fred del Bob
/chanserv sop #fred del *!*@superfastinternet.com
Example to WIPE (M):
/chanserv sop #fred wipe
