Staff records (`STAFF` [[Colleague/Files & Tables|file]]) are used to define some specific accesses intended for non-[[Colleague/Operators file|operators]] in Colleague. Staff records function as a central hub between the other primary employee records, including Operator ID (**SOD**), Person (**NAE**), and [[Colleague/Registry & Resources|Web Users]] (**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.
