Vampire hierarchies are based on predator logic, if you're capable enough you can take whatever you want. They won't "allow" it, they will just step aside because it's pointless to fight if you're going to win anyway. If they hold grudges they will have to hold them in peace, because the stronger decides. If you get assigned a guide/lover it will be their standing deciding what you have access to. They can take someone in and then others will have to respect you based on who's protecting you. I only know of those two methods. (It's the same with anyone out theres, but don't let my understanding restrict you, you will meet whoever thinks the same way as you.)
