Access to all Starfleet data is highly regulated. A standard set of access levels have been programmed into the computer cores of all Starfleet installations in order to stop any undesired access to confidential data.

Security levels are also variable, and task-specific. Certain areas of the computer are restricted to unauthorized personnel, regardless of security level. Security levels can also be raised, lowered, or revoked by Command personnel.
