A system and method of verifying accuracy of permission and access levels in a mainframe system are presented. The system and method may include receiving a plurality of records including a user identifier and an associated access level. The access level in the record may be matched (e.g., the access level on the stored record must be less than or equal to the access on the new system to “pass” the test) to the access level in a mainframe system. If the access levels match, the access level may be stored in the mainframe system. If the access levels do not match, the record may be flagged and correction of the inconsistency may be performed.
