Operator rights for GeyserMC players

I am running a Paper server with GeyserMC. It works well. But there is a issue regarding Operator rights. I want to give my friend operator rights but he plays on pocket edition (and I play Java).

I added his name to the op players list in Players tab in aternos. But still, when he tries to use commands, he gets an error that 'You don't have permission to do this, contact the administrator if you believe this is an error'.

There is also no prefix or suffix in my friends name. Then why he is not getting operator rights?

I went to the op players list in the players tab. And then added my friends name. I didn't enter any prefix or suffix in my friend's name.

I got the solution!! For GeyserMC (pocket edition) players, we need to use command - /op playername

Now my friend will get operator rights 😁
