Narrative:

Aircraft X checked onto departure and was instructed to 'climb via SID'. Aircraft X two minutes later leveled at 100. When approach asked why they leveled at 10;000 [feet]; they cited the previous clearance instructed them to maintain 10;000 [feet]. They were then told to climb via SID; top altitude FL200 and they then understood the instructions. Aircraft on clearance should be instructed to 'climb via sid' with no altitude restrictions; and if approach needs an altitude restriction this will be given upon aircraft check in.-or-all pilots need to be on the same page that when departure clears an aircraft to 'climb via SID' this deletes the clearance delivery restriction previously given.
