It always has permissions of level 2{{only\|java}}/level 1{{only\|bedrock}}, so it can be used to allow a specific use of a command by players who can't use that command in general (for example, allowing anyone to obtain a specific item with {{cmd\|give}} without allowing everyone to /give themselves whatever they want).
