Permission Hierarchy

Inside a rift or an instance, what a person can do depends on his permission tier. The higher the tier, the more the world obeys him.

The two lowest known tiers: Observer—can only watch, can read data but cannot move the rules; Trigger-Holder—can 'activate existing rules,' issue limited commands within the instance, provided the target's permission is no higher than his own.

Above the Observer, above the Trigger-Holder, how many tiers remain? No one can say for certain. It's known only that some targets hold permissions so high that even a Trigger-Holder's command is rejected outright—and that, more often than not, is still not the highest tier of all.
