Seed Employee

One Employee record is provided as seed data at installation, as described in Table 27. This record does not have a database login or a responsibility, but, like other employees, it does have a position and an organization.

Customer users, such as Siebel Service users, are not assigned their own position or organization. When a customer user logs in, the application programmatically associates the proxy employee with the user. The proxy employee provides the following functions:

• Data subsequently created by the user is associated with the organization of the proxy employee, which allows the data to display in views that implement organization access control.
• The user can see data created by the user and by others in views that implement organization access control.

The proxy employee is specified at the application level as a Name Server parameter.

For information about associating the proxy employee with an application, see Siebel Gateway Name Server Parameters.

For information about organization access control, see Access Control Mechanisms.
