## When to use Privileges
A privilege should give a player **the ability to do something**.
Privileges are **not for indicating class or status**.
The main admin of a server (the name set by the `name` setting in the
minetest.conf file) is automatically given all available privileges.

If `give_to_singleplayer` is true, you can remove it, because true is the default
when it is not specified. This simplifies the privilege registration to:
```lua
minetest.register_privilege("vote", {
description = "Can vote on issues"
})
```
`give_to_singleplayer` defaults to true when not specified, so it isn't
actually needed in the above definition.

If you don't need to check the missing privileges, you can put
`check_player_privs` directly into the if statement.
```lua
if not minetest.check_player_privs(name, { interact=true }) then
return false, "You need interact for this!"
end
```
## Getting and Setting Privileges
To get a table containing a player's privileges, regardless of whether
the player is logged in, use `minetest.get_player_privs`:
Player privileges can be accessed or modified regardless of the player
being online.
```lua
local privs = minetest.get_player_privs(name)
print(dump(privs))
privs.vote = true
minetest.set_player_privs(name, privs)
```
This example may give:
Privileges are always specified as a key-value table with the key being
the privilege name and the value being a boolean.

To set a player's privileges, use `minetest.set_player_privs`:
```lua

To grant a player privileges, use a combination of the above two functions:
```lua
local privs = minetest.get_player_privs(name)
privs.vote = true
minetest.set_player_privs(name, privs)
```
## Adding Privileges to basic_privs
