Why can't I see the whole SSN and name?

Most users will only see the First Initial, Last Name, month and year of birth, and last four digits of the Social Security Number (SSN.) This is a Privacy Act protection. Certain users at each agency, who have a valid business need to see the full SSNs and names, may be assigned "Special System Privileges" in Security Administration. This removes all data blocking of names, birth dates, and SSNs in all screens for these individual users. The default value is No Special System Privileges for all users.
