Clearance Level

“The information hierarchy and compartmentalization are critical components of the FFOS system as a whole.”- Dr. [REDACTED]
"It's called compartmentalization. Nobody spills the secrets because nobody knows them all” - Dr. [REDACTED]
" It's impossible for every agent to be knowledgeable on every mission, it would make the whole organization vulnerable.” - Hunter [REDACTED] Simmons
Clearance levels were used by FFOS to keep order in their system and protect classified information. Many wings and individual rooms within the HQ are restricted to FFOS staff with a certain clearance level, which is encoded on their ID cards. If you have lost your ID card or it has been stolen, report it to human resources on the first floor.

There were seven levels of clearance. As staff moved up from Level 1, they gained access to more information and, frequently, more power. Though individuals of higher rank and level are typically more efficient at their job, specifically hunters, the skill and power of the hunter and their clearance level are not necessarily correlated. A staff member's clearance level was not based on how long they had been a part of the agency but primarily on their performance.
