What is the purpose of the DNI-issued Security Executive Agency Directive entitled "Temporary Eligibility"?

The purpose of the DNI-issued Security Executive Agency Directive entitled "Temporary Eligibility" is to authorize temporary access to classified information. This directive recognizes that there may be circumstances where individuals need to access classified information on a temporary basis, often to facilitate specific tasks or responsibilities that arise unexpectedly. It ensures that there is a clear framework in place to allow this temporary access while still maintaining the necessary safeguards surrounding classified material.

By establishing criteria under which temporary eligibility can be granted, the directive helps streamline processes for individuals who require immediate access to sensitive information for short durations, such as in emergency situations or special projects, without compromising the overall security posture of the organization.
