Top level and member level

I have been reading the Java Tutorial and keep running across the references top level and member level

example

At the top level—public, or package-private (no explicit modifier).
At the member level—public, private, protected, or package-private (no explicit modifier).

What exactly do these refer too? By member level are they refering to instances of classes in some way? Thank you very much for any input! :D

I think i might understand now. I was reading a section on nested classes and it said this,

"As a member of the OuterClass, a nested class can be declared private, public, protected, or package private. (Recall that outer classes can only be declared public or package private.)."

So the top level is outer classes and can be either public or package-private and the inner classes are the member level and can be either four of the access levels? Is this correct? Thanks!
