- **any signed in user** is allowed to read the list of employees' `name` and `email` fields
- **only the employee/owner themselves** have CRUD access to their `ssn` field

<Callout warning>

To prevent unintended loss of data, the user or role that attempts to `delete` a record should have delete permissions on every field of the `@model` annotated GraphQL type.
For example, in the schema below:
```graphql
type Todo @model @auth(rules: [
{ allow: private, provider: iam },
{ allow: groups, groups: ["Admin"] }
]) {
id: ID!
name: String! @auth(rules: [
{ allow: private, provider: iam },
{ allow: groups, groups: ["Admin"] }
])
description: String @auth(rules: [{ allow: private, provider: iam }])
}
```
Since the `description` field is not accessible by "Admin" Cognito group users, they cannot delete any `Todo` records.

</Callout>
