During the process of building SAE estimates, individuals involved might include census bureau staff, academia and independent consultants, who could have different levels of access rights to confidential individual level data. How to manage the data access needs to be considered. There are in-house staff who are specialised in SAE. There are also collaborators from Academia. Sensitive data are not given to external collaborators. The collaborators will provide the methods and codes and the Census staff will run the program and share the results with the external collaborators.
