Security and Access

You can use these security layers to restrict the amount of data that each user can analyze:

• Standard row-level security.

  Use row-level security to give users access to a specific list of business units from which to select when performing the analysis. At run time, the system requires users to select at least one human resources (HR) business unit on the Utilization Parameters - Business Units page or the Utilization Parameters - Organization Units page. The Business Unit field is a prompt-with-edit field that has a row-level security view that controls the business units from which the user can select, if row-level security is active.

• Tree security based on business unit security.

  Use tree security for users to analyze departments or locations by selecting from department or location trees that are associated with an HR business unit. On the Utilization Parameters - Organization Units page, users can only select from HR business units that are accessible to them through row-level security. The available department or location trees depend on the business units that a user can access.
