Hi all -
I have a HR type form I am translating into English and it is addressed to a number of different categories/types of employees who are supposed to read it.
Here are the recipients specified in the first row of the form:
"Fonction (Accès, ETE, personnel de bureau, tous):"
My attempt:
"Role (____, Summer, office staff, everyone)"
Anyone know how I might translate the word "Accès" in this context?
Thanks!

See discussion entries above. How exactly you choose to translate this may depend on context or even company-internal usage. If you can, there might be no harm in asking *them* for a little contextual clarification on what exactly they consider "access".

: You are naughty Isabelle.... Kudoz rules are that only one word must be suggested and no more. You may give more details in the box though. I support the security option.

I agree with Isabelle, might be worth asking for clarification. But here is another possible translation.

I'm going to go ahead drop in an answer, might as well not give away potential points. ;) The beauty of this system is that if someone else comes along with a better (or even correct!) answer, it'll supersede mine anyway.
ETE - no idea why it is in in caps. So I am not sure if it mean Summer ( as in Summer Employees). I am wondering it it could mean something else also...
