User Code Clearance

A user code clearance is a password required to access control of certain systems aboard a starship or space station. Some of the many uses of authorization codes including: activating and cancelling auto destruct sequences, transferring of command of a starship, accessing secured locations, and ejecting a warp core.

In Star Fleet, the style of code is typically the user’s name, followed by a combination of numbers and Greek letters. This can vary, however, as sometimes it can be colours or letters from the alphabet. Codes are changed on a regular basis, to prevent sabotage and security breaches.
