Rules Regarding Opening an IRA after starting work?

Hello all, I'm confused as to FINRA rule 3210 relating to opening accounts with other broker-dealers/financial institutions. If a full-time analyst at a BB wants to open an IRA, do they have to provide their firm with prior written notification and receive approval? What's the process for that? Thanks.
