Restricted subject access

Review a named access purpose, expiry and disclosure authority for a restricted identity.

    • Locate the subject code, retention date and legal-hold indicator.
    • Updates Restricted subjects
  2. Record the grant Admin

    Admin names the team member, purpose, approving person and expiry for access to that subject.

    • Name the user, purpose, approving person and expiry.
    • Updates Access grants, Team members, Restricted subjects
