Can "vetted" be used to mean somebody to whom some restrictions are not applied?

Question

Using a CMS, I found the following description for a user setting.> If checked, this user will be granted "vetted" status. Vetted users create full projects and promote existing experimental sandboxes._Vetted users_ is used to refer to users who can create full projects and sandbox projects; non-vetted users are only allowed to create sandbox projects.Is it correct to use _vetted_ in this case? If it is correct, what is the meaning of _vetted_, in this case?

Answer 1

In this sense, the verb "vet" means "to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc." (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/vet).

When the author of the CMS wrote, "Vetted users create full projects..." they meant that in order to have the authority to make operational changes to a software system, users need to have passed some examination to determine their competence and trustworthiness. Users who have not yet passed this check can only create projects in a 'sandbox' which does not allow the project to affect the wider software environment, and only vetted and therefore trusted users are allowed to release projects from the 'sandbox' to the 'real' world where they can conceivably damage the operational software system.
