Modifying Security for Hiring and Transferring Workers

PeopleSoft HCM enables users to assign workers into departments that they can't access for updates. To prevent a user without access from transferring a worker into a department, PeopleSoft HCM contains a view, DEPT_SEC_VW, that shows only the department IDs that the user is authorized to access.

If you use this view, you need to create a class of users who can access all departments so that they can perform transfers. Also, update the Job record definition in PeopleSoft Application Designer so that the prompt table for the DEPT_ID field is DEPT_SEC_VW. You may also want to change the security view on the DEPARTMENT_TBL component to this view if you want users to only be able to access departments they have access to. This is defined using the Department security sets.
