Defining Security

This chapter provides an overview of security and discusses:

How to restrict user access.
Element security.
Payee security.

Understanding Security

Security refers to the ability to restrict users from viewing or updating certain data or payees.

In Global Payroll, there are two levels of security:

Element-level security

Restricts the elements that a user can view or update, based on the User Rules Profile page and the Used By, Owner, and Override Levels fields on the Element Name page.
Payee-level security

Restricts the payees that a user can view, based on the standard HR security in PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources.

Note. Global Payroll can also use the group security feature in PeopleSoft Enterprise Time and Labor.

Element Usage Security

You set up profiles for your users that give them access to country-specific element information. For example, if your organization operates only in France, users do not need element information that is specific to the United Kingdom. Element-usage security limits the number of elements that appear in prompt tables and on search pages to those that are relevant to the user.

Owner Security

Owner security refers to who owns and maintains an element—PeopleSoft or the customer. Certain elements can be modified only by PeopleSoft, while others can be modified by the customer.

The Owner field on the Element Name page identifies an element's owner.

Defining Element Names

Override Levels

Override levels for an element vary, depending on the element type. Typical override levels include Pay Entity, Pay Group, Payee, Calendar, Via Elements, Element Definition, and Positive Input. You select these on the Element Name page by using check boxes. These check boxes indicate whether the element can be updated through overrides or by another element.

The update Via Element security feature controls which elements can be updated by another element. You can update an element by means of another element in four places in the application:

Arrays (through the Map Retrieved Fields to Variable Elements fields on the Field Map and Keys page).
Brackets (through the Return Columns fields on the Bracket Search Keys/Return Columns page).
Dates (through the Date Extract fields on the Date Extract page).
Formulas (through the Assign To columns on the Formula Field-by-Field page).

The system checks the User Rules Profile and element-usage security to ensure that only elements that are available for access can be updated by another element.

Common Terms Used in This Chapter

Prompt edits	Records or views that you use as an online prompt on a specified field.
Query security records	Records or views that you use in PeopleSoft Query.
Search records and search views	Records and views that you use to access a component.

Restricting User Access

You can control whether a user can access elements that are defined for all countries or for a specific country and whether a user can take control of PeopleSoft-delivered and maintained elements.

This section provides an overview of restricting access to country-specific elements and discusses how to define elements for user access.

Understanding How to Restrict Access to Country-Specific Elements

When you create an element, you designate (in the Used By field of the Element Name page) whether it can be used by all countries or by a specific country. An element cannot use an element that is defined at a lower level. For instance, a duration element that is defined for All Countries cannot use a variable defined for only one country—France, for example. It can only use elements defined for All Countries. However, a duration that is defined for France can use variables defined for France as well as variables defined for All Countries.

The User Rules Profile page defines the default values that users see in the Used By and Country fields when adding an element.

This table shows how the settings on the User Rules Profile page affect the Used By and Country fields on the Element Name page:

User Rules Profile page	Element Name page
Used By = All Countries	Used By = All Countries is the default. Country field defaults to value ALL.
Used By = Specific Country	Used By = Specific Country and can't be changed. Country field defaults to Country and can't be changed.

User Rules Profile page

Element Name page

Used By = All Countries

Used By = All Countries is the default.

Country field defaults to value ALL.

Used By = Specific Country

Used By = Specific Country and can't be changed.

Country field defaults to Country and can't be changed.

Warning! Carefully consider the consequences of changing the Used By field after you save an element that is defined for All Countries. Problems can result if the element has been used in payroll processing.

Note. The User Rule Profile in Global Payroll is in addition to the User Rules Profile in Human Resources.

Defining Elements for User Access

Access the User Rules Profile page (Set Up HRMS, Security, User Maintenance, Global Payroll User Profile, User Rules Profile).

All search views refer to the information that you enter here to determine which elements to display.

Session Default

Used By

Specify which elements the users with this User ID can access. Values are:

All Countries: Elements defined for All Countries.

Specific Country: Elements defined only for the country you select in the Country field.

Note. You associate a rule with a country when you define an element on the Element Name page.

Allow PS Element Change (allow PeopleSoft element change)

Select to enable users to take control of PS Delivered/Maintained elements. Taking control of an element means that a user can edit the element's definition and change the element owner to PS Delivered-Customer Modified. Once a user takes control of an element, it cannot be changed back to PS Delivered/Maintained.

If User Rules Profile = Specific Country, then Used By = All Countries Or Used By = Specific Country. Country must match the Country on the User Rules Profile page.	Element-usage security: If Used By = All Countries, then the elements it can use must also be Used By = All Countries. If Used By = Specific Country, then the elements it can use must either be Used By = All Countries Or Used By = Specific Country, and the value in the Country field must equal the country that the element is being used by. Update by element security: For the following elements, you can update element security with the Via Element override check box on the Element Name page: - Formula definitions/Assigned To field. - Date definitions/Date Extract fields. - Bracket definitions/Return Columns field. - Array definitions/Retrieved fields. Note. If User Rules = Specific Country, you cannot change the Used By field on such an element.

Payee Security

This section discusses payee security by HR and group.

Payee payroll data is sensitive information because it often contains pay-related information. Global Payroll provides payee-level security that restricts the payees that a user can view.

HR Security

Global Payroll delivers the standard Human Resources security. Payee-level security affects all Global Payroll reports as well as every component, search record or view, and prompt record and view that contains the EMPLID field. All components that are entered with an employee ID contain payee-level security.

A security tree is used to limit the payees that a user can view or report on.

The following tables indicate payee-level security by menus and components.
