Humans are omnivores and are considered to be at the highest trophic level. Omnivores consume both plants and meat. Plants are considered to be primary consumers or producers because they are capable of producing their own food. Humans, because they consume primary consumers, are called secondary consumers. Other species also consume primary consumers, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, etc.; these are also secondary consumers. However, if a human consumes a secondary consumer, then the human becomes a tertiary (third level) consumer. Is it possible that humans could be quaternary consumers? Yes, but in general, humans are considered both secondary and tertiary consumers. I hope that this answers your question.
