# Staff file   
   
Staff records (`STAFF` [file](../../notes/Colleague/Files%20%26%20Tables.md)) are used to define some specific accesses intended for non-[operators](../../notes/Colleague/Operators%20file.md) in Colleague. Staff records function as a central hub between the other primary employee records, including Operator ID (**SOD**), Person (**NAE**), and [Web Users](../../notes/Colleague/Registry%20%26%20Resources.md) (**DRUS**). They also contain various privacy and authorization controls, such as:   
   
- In order to verify you have the authority to modify restrictions for a user, you must have the appropriate office code that matches the restriction.   
- You can adjust/override visibility of sensitive fields like SSN and Demographics directly on Staff records instead of creating new security classes.
