Do admins need OP on a Minecraft server?
I used to run a Minecraft server and always gave admins OP. I have seen many abusing it, but when I deopped the best admins, they complained about not having enough rights.
Giving OP to someone is a big risk. Though when giving OP it can also be a big advantage.
So my question is: is it smart to give admins OP? Do they really need it? Of course only when you trust them?
Best Answer
Not necessarily. If you use a plugins like Group Manager - Essentials. That should allow you to make a group for your admins, and give them only the permissions you want them to have (without them having to be op).
Group Manager - Essentials
There is a easy to follow tutorial to the plugin on the page. You should be able to learn to make your own groups in 15-20 minutes of reading.
If you do not want to go to the config file every time you want to edit a group it can be done with in-game commands (more info about that on the page itself).
Edit: You might have to search a little on google to find more information about the config reprogramming. You are always welcome to comment on this answer if you need help :)
