    • Full Data Access: Overrides the individual's current user permissions, allowing them full access to all the changes to data in the scenario, which could potentially include sensitive information (such as compensation) depending on their ChartHop Access Role. It is recommended to only assign those Permissions to individuals who regularly have access to Highly Sensitive information.
