Why bother validating the PIN that a researcher has specified for an agency in the Common CV database?
Validating the PIN ensures that the individual listed on the Common CV is the same person that is listed with that PIN in that agency’s web or corporate database. This helps to prevent erroneous data when that CV is loaded/entered into your corporate database. It is also crucial if we eventually allow cross-web-site authentication in the future. We would not want a researcher to have access to another researcher’s web-forms account simply because they entered the wrong PIN either intentionally or unintentionally.
