[IRCServices] Root User and Channels Access lists

[&quot]

Actually, from what I've seen getpass is not the only way.... services admins can use ChanServ's set command to change the channel founder, make modifications, then change the founder back. 
  
What I do find surprising is that Services Admins can change founders but not access lists.

>From what I recall, no-one except Channel Founders or people with access to modify the access-list can change anything on a channel access list.

The only way for a SA (Services Admin) to do it would be to use GETPASS, however you can modify Services to allow you to modify the access lists directly w/o GETPASS.

But the question arises, why do you want to modify access lists w/o using GETPASS anyhow?
