Administering Immigration Contacts

Immigration Contacts are added as Identities. To maintain the integrity of the contact and identities data, only an administrator may remove a contact or identity record from the database.

Identities have a Status of Active, Inactive or To be deleted. There can only be one designated Primary record. However, more than one identity record can have a status of Active.

For a typical user, after an identity record is added and saved no other modifications to the record is permitted, except in the status field. For example, if Divorced is selected in the identity record's Marital Status field, and the record is saved, the user cannot then change the Marital Status value to Separated.

After an identity's status is changed to To be deleted, and saved, no additional status changes are permitted. For example, the user cannot change the status from To be deleted to Active or Inactive.

However, the user with Identities Administration, or Immigration Contacts Administration privileges can make changes to contact and identity record field values, and manually delete contacts as needed.
