Hey @rrene-1125 I did get an update for this I wanted to share with you.
In the JSON configuration file of an add-in, you can add the following:
"enableViewSecurityId":true
This will add a new clearance option called View "[name of add-in]" add-in. This can then be enabled / disabled for security clearance profiles. So add-ins do not have to be all or nothing for users - and instead you can specify which add-ins you'd like a particular security clearance level to have.
Try this out and let me know how it goes. This should allow you to add extra security clearances you can turn on and off for specific add-ins. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Have a good weekend!

Hello @rrene-1125 ,
Thank you for asking your question in our community. I know there has been some talk about this before but I am not sure where we are at with creating something like this. My best suggestion is to put your comments and upvote this feedback submission we got about this previously. Cannot restrict access to only some Add-ins on security clearance level
This will let our product managers know there is more interest in this feature being added. If I find anything else out about this I will let you know.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Have a good one!

I figured out how to add it but then in all the clearances, it is greyed out and cannot be turned on.
Hey @rrene-1125 this should be enabled by default only for the administrator clearance. If you want to use this for other clearances you will need to make sub clearances and you should be able to enable or disable this clearance for them. This worked well when I was testing it in my database. Let me know if you have any other questions. Here are a couple screen shots if that is helpful:

What it looks like by default on the admin clearance:
What all the other clearances should look like by default:
