Hi @Luis Cornejo 

Security Level doesn't offer a real field, but an lock icon in the top right of your ticket, like this one:

hey @Stefan Draber thank you for the answer. i don't find that neither. do you think you can help me over the phone?

It will show as a normal drop down field on the Create screen.

On the Edit/View screens however, it shows as a Lock icon in the upper right corner next to the Watchers icon.

Within automation, the "Security Level" field can be found within the "Field value changed" trigger and the "Edit work item" action.

Thanks, permission was missing and now i can see it. i am also trying to run an automation which creates and issue and sets the authorization level but this fails. it says it doesnt find the field. i will try to set a separate automation to be trigger after this issue type is created.

If you want to set the security level on the newly created item (and not in the one that triggers the automation), then you have to branch the newly created item and add the security-level-action into that branch.
