How to de-op someone on your Minecraft server

Each OP level inherits the levels before it. So for example, level 3 also has the commands and abilities of level 2 and level 1.

OP Level Permissions
Level 1 This will allow server operators to bypass the default spawn protection. This is the lowest level of OP and does not have any commands included.
Level 2 Operators can use the following commands: /gamerule, /give, /effect, /clear, /difficulty, /summon, /tp, /gamemode, and /setblock. They will also have permission to edit command blocks.
Level 3 This level will allow server operators to use the following commands: /ban, /kick, /deop, and /op
Level 4 This is the highest level of OP. It allows server operators to use the /stop command

The OP Permission Levels were released during the 1.7.10 development, so this will not apply to any version under 1.7.10.
