It really doesn't require any configuration other than just giving the permissions...
And just in case you didn't know, most of the good plugins have the options for extensive configuration, that's one of the things that makes them good.
Either way, your choice.

xTeam is cool.
It is like Factions but without the protections and power ratings and stuff. You can set Head Quarters and stuff, as well. I think it would compliment a Factions server quite well if you configure it correctly.
