2636240 - National ID Card Information: New National ID Permission - 1805

The Role-Based Permission for National ID prior to 1805 release is a simple on/off permission and allows full access (edit and/or display) to National ID records irrespective of country and type.

In the 1805 release, with the new additional permission setting "National ID (Restricted to only country of legal entity)", customers can restrict the access of users to only the relevant National ID (i.e. the National ID of the country of employment). Any other National ID (e.g. those of other countries entered in the context of previous employment) will be suppressed.

Customers who want to prevent their users from viewing any National IDs stored in Personal Information that do not belong to the country of the actual employment (determined by the legal entity) but relate to previous employment in different countries on privacy reasons, can now do so with this new permission setting.

FAQ

Q) When this permission is granted, will the user still see the National ID information for other countries (not the country defined in the employment)?
A) No. The end user will only be able to view the National ID's that are for the same Country as the employees Employment (Country of Legal Entity).

A) No. But you will receive and error message when trying to save a National ID Card for a country that differs from the Country of the Legal Entity the employee is assigned to in Job Information.

Q) Should I grant this permission to all users?
