Access
Permission to enter
Access is the ability or right to approach, enter, or use something: access to the building, access to healthcare, internet access.
The verb means to gain entry or retrieve: access your account, access the files.
Access often implies permission or privilege—having access suggests doors are open to you that might be closed to others.
