Password levels are ranked in descending order, the lowest one allowing the user to access only the menu selection at which it was set (i.e., sales floor data). 

 

A high-level password will always override and access a low-level password request.  The exception to that is when a password level is 'Locked.' Only passwords on that level and those on Level One will be acceptable for menu selections that have been protected by that level.  For example, while your bookkeeper may have a relatively high password level that would override most others, you may have a different individual who handles your payroll. You do not want the regular bookkeeper to be able to access the payroll menu.  You may set a lower level password at the payroll menu and then 'lock' it, preventing even higher-level passwords from accessing that selection.
