A table of various access levels, which the game uses to determine if you can enter certain areas or open certain lockers and crates, among many other things. Generally, rooms, vending machines/dispensers, and containers are access locked, while the items and machines are not. To use something access-locked, you need to be wearing an ID card or implanted with an access implant with the relevant level. ID cards and access implants are modified at an ID computer, and it is possible to change the access levels of certain devices directly through the Head of Personnel's Access-Pro.
