Statement
Manage individual identifiers by uniquely identifying each individual as {{ insert: param, ia-04.04_odp }}.
Guidance
Characteristics that identify the status of individuals include contractors, foreign nationals, and non-organizational users. Identifying the status of individuals by these characteristics provides additional information about the people with whom organizational personnel are communicating. For example, it might be useful for a government employee to know that one of the individuals on an email message is a contractor.
