French term

Une tolérance...

French to English Other Linguistics
L’adressage d’un Mél doit respecter l’organisation hiérarchique de l'entreprise.
Une règle simple, qui peut évidemment supporter des exceptions, est de communiquer avec des correspondants de même niveau hiérarchique. ///Une tolérance/// d’un niveau en plus et en moins peut se pratiquer.

Looking for the best way to translate "tolérance" in this context.

Thanks for your suggestions.
