Row-level Security
With row-level support, you can implement security to provide individual users or permission lists with access to a page, but you do not have to provide access to all rows in the table when the page is accessed. This type of security is typically applied to tables that hold sensitive data. For example, you can implement row-level security in Project Costing to restrict access to specific projects.
The PeopleTools security system determines which data permissions to grant to a user by examining the primary permission list and row security permission list. The permission list that the system uses varies by application and data entity, such as employee, customer, or business unit. Project Costing uses the row security permission list value to determine a user's access to projects if you implement permission list-level security.
Note:
Row-level security does not restrict the data that is selected by batch processes.
