Rephrase "Access to"

Title:
Rephrase "Access to"

Area:
profile page

Summary:
"Access To" is ambigious, let's rename it.

Description:
*Every* time I look at a profile page, I see the "Access to:" line and think it means "has access to" and not "gives access to" until i see the "access from" line below. Now maybe that's me not being a native speaker, but I think this is terribly confusing.

My suggestion would be to rename to "Gives Access To" and "Has Access From", which would get rid of the (perceived?) ambiguity.

I suffer the same persistent confusion every time I look at the page.

I am a native speaker of English, and this trips me up from time to time also.

Hah, I just had this very suggestion and said, "Hmm, better check the tags and make sure it's not a duplicate." And there it was!

Anyway. Please, with a cherry on top.
