Perhaps a simpler method would be linking keys to banner protection. So, your idea appears to be based around the idea of making multiple LEVELS of ACCESS within a protected area. Inside a bannered area, you can place three (Or four) different kinds of locks. Iron, silver, gold, mithril (Or just "master" crafted with some special combination of cheaper materials. Depends on if we really want it to be expensive).

Keys follow the same pattern: Iron<Silver<Gold<Master

Each key is synced to a particular banner area. If that banner area becomes unprotected, the key becomes desynced. Only the owner of an area can sync a key to that banner area.

Iron locks can be opened by any key, silver locks cannot be opened by iron keys, and so on.

This allows for three levels of citizenship (Basic [iron key], more trustworthy member[silver key], and very trustworthy [gold key]) and the ability to set apart areas for the owner (With the master key).

Now you can, inside of one banner, give access to underlings while maintaining security.
