Security Levels

A security level is an integer between 0 and 255 that you can assign to accessors and resources. An accessor cannot access a resource if the accessor has a security level less than the security level assigned to the resource, even if the user is granted access authority in the resource's access control list. If a resource has a zero security level, security level checking is not checked for that resource.

An accessor with a security level of zero cannot access any resource that has a non-zero security level.
