Who is allowed access to confidential records under Class 314?

• A. All employees
• B. Only senior management
• C. Authorized personnel
• D. The general public

Answer: (C)

Access to confidential records is limited to individuals who have a legitimate need to know and have been authorized to view the information. This means people whose job duties require access and who are trained and bound by confidentiality rules. The general public has no justified reason to see confidential records, and simply being an employee does not automatically grant access. Senior management may have access if their role requires it, but the deciding factor is authorization tied to the specific duties, not status alone. In short, only those who are formally authorized to handle such records can access them, ensuring privacy is protected and disclosures are properly controlled.
