• Organization level security restricts users' access to data based on provisioning such as Department level, Agency level, POI level, and Organization level provisioning.
• Subject Area level security restricts users' access to data based on Subject Area provisioning.
• Data element level security tailors users’ access to different types of sensitive information, such as social security number and diversity information.
