"Vet" here is being used with this meaning:

"to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, authenticity, validity, etc.: An expert vetted the manuscript before publication."

So a "vetted" user is one who's been checked out (by the project manager or whoever) and can therefore be given expanded permissions.
