# clsPolicyData.UserAccessLevels

`UserAccessLevels` ranks the audiences that read policy data, from `SAIFEmployee` at 1000 down to `QuickFileUser` at 300. The numeric ordering is deliberate: comparisons treat a higher value as strictly more privileged. Every external audience has a paired demo level fifty points lower, which is how the library distinguishes a real external user from a demonstration account that must see masked data.

## Purpose

- Ranks the audiences that consume policy data, so that visibility decisions can compare levels rather than enumerate roles ([BR-012](../../business-rules.md#br-012-demo-access-levels-are-treated-as-a-distinct-user-population)).
- Pairs every external audience with a demo variant, which drives address and agency masking ([BR-013](../../business-rules.md#br-013-user-type-maps-to-a-ranked-access-level)).
- Supplies the default `SAIFEmployee` level used when a caller does not specify one ([BR-010](../../business-rules.md#br-010-a-non-employer-account-requires-a-non-zero-account-number)).

## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.View.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.BOF.Business.View.Policy`
- Declared in: `Business/SAIF.Business.View.Policy/clsPolicyData.vb`
