In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-06-16, Protection of Sensitive Agency Information, and to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) USA Staffing system, rules of behavior on the safe handling of data must be followed when accessing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in USA Staffing. The loss of PII can result in substantial harm, embarrassment, and inconvenience to individuals and may lead to identity theft or other fraudulent use of the information.
Annually, every USA Staffing user must read and agree to the Rules of Behavior when signing into the system before they are granted access to USA Staffing features and data. This requirement also applies to accounts assigned to automation acting as a system user. Additionally, agency personnel creating and managing automated user accounts for the purpose of robotic process automation accept responsibility for the permissions assigned and all actions executed by these accounts within USA Staffing.
