Security Considerations

Access to the Manager Self-Service component is controlled through standard PeopleSoft security. The system uses PeopleCode to determine whether the current user has the credentials to access the component. This is necessary because URLs can be distributed, copied and modified to invoke the component directly, even though no direct portal access exists.

Access to a specific compensation cycle is dependent upon the cycle status together with information residing in the Cycle Role Access table. The Cycle Role Access table retains role access security to a specific group node in your organizational tree hierarchy. Depending upon the role access, the user may have the proper credentials to review, update, or approve proposals.

This table outlines the criteria the system uses to provide access to the pages within the Manager Self-Service component.
