# Claim security override check

Determine whether an employee has a security override permitting access to a restricted claim.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Operation ID** | OP-SD-08 |
| **Trigger** | Access check for an employee against a claim. |
| **Inputs** | Claim id, employee id |
| **Outputs** | bool |
| **Primary components** | `ClaimSecurityOverrideProvider.HasClaimSecurityOverride` |
| **Entry point** | `Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/ClaimSecurityOverrideProvider.cs` |

## Steps

1. Query `SecurityOverride` (`CL_SECURITY_OVERRIDE`) where `ClaimId` equals the claim, `EmplId` equals the employee, and `EffDate <= today <= ExpDate` ([SD-BR-020](../business-rules.md#sd-br-020-employee-has-claim-security-override-only-when-override-row-matches-claim-and-employee-within-effdate-to-expdate-window), [SQL-073](../sql/SQL-073-claim-security-override-provider-has-claim-security-override.md)).
2. Return true if any row matches.

	S1 --> S2{"Rules satisfied?"}
	S2 -->|Yes| EndOk([Result returned])
	S2 -->|No| EndErr([Exception / empty result])
```

## Failure and edge-case behavior
- No matching row: returns false (no override).
