Wat? No, we build the system to block group44 access to all our own diagnostic tools for downstream users. I'm just saying we could also get around it because we build it and had direct db access. We didn't though, or at least I didn't.

I did not violate the law at all. We might have had to look at peoples' health claims information to debug issues, and that's fine, so long as we never disclose that data.

That was a decade ago, so they might have tightened things up. Still, at some point, some people are going to have access to all the data (A DBA is not going to be very effective at his/her job if they don't have admin access on production).
