Restrict access to local functionality on selected components.

Local functionality refers to functionality that is specific to a country. Country-specific functionality is in collapsible sections marked by the country's flag, in the global components. To grant access to local components, you use component permission. To grant access to the local functionality on global components, you use the Setup Global Security page in addition to component permission.

To grant users access to local country functionality on the global menus:

  1. Use the Country Specific - Installed HR Countries page (INSTALLATION_SEC) to select the local country functionality that is installed as part of your PeopleSoft HCM system.

    If you do not specify a country here, its local functionality can't be accessed.

  2. Grant the primary permission lists access to country-specific functionality using the Setup Global Security page.

  3. Assign a user access to a primary permission list containing access to the countries that are required by the user on the User Profile - General page.

See PeopleTools: Security Administration
