Specifies the player for which to grant/revoke/query the privilege.

Must be a player name or target selector.

`<ability>` [String](/better-commands/data-types.md#string)

Specifies the player privilege (such as `fly` or `server`).

`<value>` [Boolean](/better-commands/data-types.md#boolean)

Specifies the value to set the ability to, must be either `true` or `false`. If not specified, returns the current privilege's value.
