Security Administration

User security for PeopleSoft eSettlements is designed for decentralized administration. Access to information is flexible, and you can configure access to meet your organization's needs. Predefined role types and data access rights ensure secured data access throughout the system. Security is managed by two types of administrators:

• A main system administrator.

• Local administrators (for both buyers and sellers).

The system administrator establishes the overall structure for creation of user profiles and creates one user profile for each buying entity (buyer) and selling entity (supplier). These first users are the local administrators and are referred to as either the buyer administrator or the supplier administrator. The local administrator role types are restricted to creating respective local buyer and supplier users.

Note:

In the Buyer Direct model, you do not have to create separate buyer and supplier administrators. The system administrator can manage all user security. However, you are required to create separate buyer and supplier administrators in the Business Service Provider model.
