How to "OP" and "DE-OP" a player in Minecraft

On a Minecraft server, an operator (often abbreviated "OP") is one of the highest permission levels a player can have by default. When using a server with plugins or mods, you can set players to have access to certain permissions rather than all of the commands that a regular OP has.
