Enabling ChartField Security

PeopleSoft ChartField security provides a flexible, rule-based approach to administer security at a data level. ChartField security is supported in PeopleSoft General Ledger and across other PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain Management (FSCM) applications. The ChartField Security feature prevents unauthorized employees and contractors from viewing and editing sensitive financial data by restricting access to data stored with specific ChartField values.

The primary features for ChartField security are:

  • Enforce security rules by user, role, or permission list.

  • Enable ChartField security for all products or selectively by product.

  • Enable or disable ChartField security selectively by component.

  • Define rules to accommodate end-user areas of responsibility.

  • Refine access rules by product feature or component.

  • Support super user access to minimize setup.

  • Define components as exceptions to override security rules.
