Security Clearance

Access to all Starfleet data is highly regulated. A standard set of access levels have been programmed into the computer cores of all ships in order to stop any undesired access to confidential data. Security levels are also variable, and task-specific. Certain areas of the ship are restricted to unauthorized personnel, regardless of security level. Security levels can also be raised, lowered, or revoked by Command personnel.

Security levels in use aboard the ship are:


 * Level 10 – Captain and Above


 * Level 9 – First Officer


 * Level 8 - Commander


 * Level 7 – Lt. Commander


 * Level 6 – Lieutenant


 * Level 5 – Lt. Junior Grade


 * Level 4 - Ensign


 * Level 3 – Non-Commissioned Crew


 * Level 2 – Civilian Personnel


 * Level 1 – Open Access (Read Only)

Note: Security Levels beyond current rank can and are bestowed where, when and to whom they are necessary. The main computer grants access based on a battery of checks to the individual user, including face and voice recognition in conjunction with a vocal code as an added level of security.
