Greetings User99,
If you are speaking here of levels of nobility - e.g. stream-winner, once-returner, non-returner, arahant .... then what is actually happening is that with each progression, certain "fetters" are either broken, or attenuated.
Being broken removes their ability to generate suffering. Being attenuated limits their ability to generate suffering.

Nibbana is unconditioned, it doesn't come in "levels".
