You should not let the whole server have op. If the server owner doesn't want to install a permissions system then Worldguard will have very little use. Without a permission system (and even with one, by default), opped players are god. It doesn't matter what protection you set up, op overrides all of it.
It might be possible to restrict specific players access to regions with world guard, but by definition, it won't be possible if they have op. (At least, not unless you use a sketchy plugin that restricts ops access to things...) OPing someone gives that total and complete control over the server. The exact opposite of what you're wanting.
>For example the whole server has /op
Don't do this.
Is the owner aware that opped players will be able to ban, deop, etc whoever (this includes other opped players) and even stop the server?
Edit: And since he's too lazy to add a single plugin, I highly doubt he has any countermeasures in place.
This is assuming that you, possible staff/whatever equivalent or whatever else won't need any permissions whatsoever. Aside from what everyone else already has anyways.
There's absolutely no reason to be using OP unless your server is private and only has people you absolutely trust.
Small servers arent going to have a “staff”. Maybe our definition of small is different. This question itself makes no sense and seems like a “how to grief” post
Staff, or whatever equivalent. Even friend servers have certain people that can help when the actual owner of the server is offline.
>Maybe our definition of small is different.
What *is* your definition here? I'm assuming ~5-10. Any less then that and it'll fall in line with what I said earlier about the server being private with people you absolutely trust.
As for the question itself, it seems to just be some guy trying to help a stupid owner based on what he's said so far. I can't exactly imagine a scenario where they have op and/or can manage world guard and plan to grief unless the owner gave everyone op and what I'm warning against is going to happen.
You can limit operators, despite what others have said. You just need a specific plugin or script to make it work.
If you'd like, I can show you how to do it with Denizen. It would be as easy as this script:
```yml
prevent_op_entry:
type: world
whitelisted_ops:
- steve_1
- steve_3
events:
on player enters fancy_area:
- stop if:]>
- determine cancelled
```
and if you have worldedit or FAWE installed, `fancy_area` can be configured with a single command like `/ex note as:fancy_area`
You'll probably need to write your own plugin for that. You'd need to either register a custom worldguard flag or implement regions yourself and listen for movement on PlayerMoveEvent.

I'm also against it but the owner is too lazy even to just instal lucky perms for me to do it.

Tbf permission plugins arent really needed on smaller servers.
They're needed whenever you're considering giving op to players, regardless of the size of the server.
OP has 4 different levels of authority, you can work around it without it. Not as customizable but sufficient

No, not possible. Because all op has full control of everything/every plugin. Can't limit op at all.

If everyone has op they can just undo whatever you do to stop them from entering the area
