(This topic should have been created in the Services forum, not in Unreal3.2 support.)

Could you please be more specific? There were too few information provided to understand your problem in all details and be able to help. What do you mean by "i want one of" and "it will be not available for users"? Can you show us error messages or examples? Anything?

no isn't a problem look...

-> *botserv* botlist

[16:16:34] -BotServ- Bot list:
-
[16:16:34] -BotServ- Guard ([email protected])
-
[16:16:34] -BotServ- HELP ([email protected])
-
[16:16:34] -BotServ- Phantom ([email protected])
-
[16:16:34] -BotServ- 3 bots available.

if a user used that cmd will see the bots
and that cmd /msg botserv ASSIGN channel namebot
the bot join on his #.

and not show the the list

Oh, I understand you now.

After rephrasing the following text:
> but i want the help will be not aveliable for other users
it sounds like so:
> But I don't want the help messages to be viewable by other users
(and same for the bot list).

Ok, there's no such feature and no permission checking in the BOTLIST command. Perhaps try to ask the Anope developers.

There is a simple way that Services Admins can do this. It is in the BOT SET options.

-BotServ- Syntax: SET bot-nick PRIVATE {ON|OFF}
-BotServ- This option prevents a bot from being assigned to a
-BotServ- channel by users that aren't IRC operators.
-BotServ- Limited to Services admins.

This will make the bot only assignable by opers.
