Obama doesn't grant anything - the Government system does, and has been previously been explained, interim access is given to incoming appointees to enable a handover.

Because he was the incoming National Security Advisor and because AT THAT TIME there was no reason not to grant him access, Flynn was given an INTERIM clearance so that he could do his job.

Interim clearance is a temporary clearance typically granted to supposed trustworthy people (which Flynn was at that time), in critical positions, so that they can do their job while the final clearance is processed. Typically limited access is also granted under the interim clearance, just the bare minimum necessary to do a specific job.
I find it amusing that you're blaming Obama for Trump's pick not filling in his Security clearance forms properly.
