clearance levels
Security permission ranks
Clearance levels are tiers of authorization determining who may access classified or restricted information.
In government and military contexts, levels like confidential, secret, and top secret indicate progressively sensitive material: She didn't have the clearance level to view those documents.
The term extends to corporate security, video games, and anywhere access is tiered by trust or authority.
