User access levels are generally incorporated into a system to limit the level of changes that a user can make which may affect other users on the system. The more people that have access to sensitive information on a network the more likely it is for a hacker or a virus to cause damage

User access levels are limits on which actions users of a system are able to perform (e.g. make changes to the system, download software, access information of other users etc.). This limits the chances of hackers or malware making it into the network.

User access levels help to limit what actions users can take within a system. This is done by assigning different roles and permissions to various users, allowing different levels of access to different functions, data, or resources.
