Why try to tie the arbitrary id to the auth level? Why not create a new column in the permissions table 'access_level' or something? No need to change the form if you only have 5 rows - just edit it in the db directly (make sure the default for a new row has very little permissions - whether that is a low or a high number).
By using a separate column you don't have to worry about special meaning for certain id or whatever.
