Identifiers Type

This feature allows access to identifiers of a relation or a provider to be restricted. The identifiers can only be accessed by users with a role that includes the restriction. The identifier types can be of various types such as the social security number, drivers license number etc.

When a user views a relation or a provider with the identifiers that they are not allowed to see, the identifiers will be concealed.

Identifiers

When a user searches for the protected identifiers that they are not allowed to see, the identifier will not be returned at all.

Example: User Bob is granted access restriction SECRET_IDENTIFIER. No access restrictions have been granted to user Pete. The following table shows which contact details they can access.
