By having multiple levels of access and/or privileges you can slowly give them out and make the early ones easier to attain. The reason for creating posts/roles/statuses which are more restricted than full access is that you can make it correspondingly easier to be granted them and therefore they can be used to help people not lose motivation before they manage to get the full access.
