Not everyone who works there can go everywhere. Employees can access the building entrance, their own floor, and the meeting rooms they need, but they can’t (and shouldn’t be able to) walk into the server room, access executive offices, or wander freely across every floor. This may seem restrictive, but it’s simply how safety and order are maintained.
