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.

Name Area(s) Accessible Lockers/Machinery Accessible Additional Notes
Morgue Morgue None Both the one in Medbay and the one in the Chapel.
Maintenance Maintenance
Tool Storage (usually)
None Usually allows you to go through the airlocks into the station as well.
Chaplain's Office Chaplain's Office Deus Ex Machina Basically means you get access to the machine with snazzy outfits (and holy water vials).
Technical Storage Tech Storage None
Bar Behind the Bar Catering Apparel vendor The general bar area is open to everyone; it's the area behind the counter (and the clothing vendor used by its staff) that need this access level. Not the same as Kitchen access!
Janitorial Equipment Custodial Closet Custodial Supplies lockers But not the JaniTech, surprisingly
Crematorium None None Not the room containing it, but rather the switch that turns it on.
Kitchen Kitchen FoodTech vendors
Catering supplies lockers
Catering Apparel vendor
Also allows access to the chef's ValuChimp.
Hydroponics Hydroponics Botanical Supplies lockers But not the Seed Fabricators or GardenVends--those are open-access!
Ranch Ranch None
External Airlock None None Supposed to allow you through most of the airlocks into the station. Rarely used these days, since those airlocks tend to use Maintenance access nowadays.
Construction Site None None Absolutely useless (for now).
Engineering Electrical Substation Engineer's Equipment lockers
Engineering Apparel
These are the rooms with the SMES Units for the Solar Arrays
Engineering Storage Engineering Storage None
Electrical Equipment None Power Transmission Laser Lets you unlock APCs and configure their settings. This also lets you claim some (or all) of the money produced by the PTL.
Engine Room Engine Room, duh
Emitters
Field Generators
None Lets you into the room(s) that contain the engine itself. For example, for a map with a Thermoelectric Generator, this would be the "core" of the TEG, while for a map with a Singularity Generator, this is often a containment area for the gravitational singularity generator.
Mechanical Lab Mechanics Workshop Mechanic's lockers
Engineering Gas Storage/Atmospherics Engineering Gas Storage
Atmospherics
None
Mining Department Mining Department Miner's Equipment lockers
Mining Outpost Mining Outpost None
Mining Outpost Shuttle None None Basically unused. The Mining Shuttle itself and the computers that control it are public access.
Engine Control Room Engine Control Room,duh Shield Generator (Clarion) Lets you into whatever the map has designated the engine's control room, which is usually where there is an Engineering Output Monitor Computer.
Hangar None None Unused. It was originally intended for the pod bay hangar doors, but the idea was canned.
Cargo Bay Cargo Bay Quartermaster's Equipment lockers Also lets you unlock MULEBots (actually controlling them uses a PDA app though), and, more importantly, make announcements on the Quartermaster Announcement computer, but does not let you use the Supply console!
QM console None Quartermaster's Console But does not grant access to the Cargo Bay or the lockers inside!
Medical Most of Medbay
Pathology

Medibots
Basically any part of Medbay that isn't Genetics or Robotics, but not the lockers and most of the vendors within. Those need Medical Equipment access.
Toxins Research Plasma Research None Pipes and connecters and burn chambers and most of the canisters and such, but not the place where the plasma canisters are actually stored.

N.A.R.C.S. turrets will also not fire upon people with the Security access level, because the NARCS are good boys.
Forensics Detective's Office Forensics equipment locker
Security Records
Security Equipment None Security equipment lockers
Security weapon recharger rack
