read-in

Transfer to memory

A read-in is a briefing that grants someone access to classified information or a secret program.

Intelligence and military personnel get "read in" to projects on a need-to-know basis: Once you're read in, you can't discuss this with anyone who isn't.

The term implies formal acknowledgment and acceptance of secrecy obligations.

A read-in can also be a protest event where participants gather to read books publicly, modeled on the sit-in.
