Understanding Data Permission Security for HCM

Data permission security refers to controlling access to the rows of data in your system. In PeopleSoft HCM, you can control access to the following types of data:

• People.

  • Employees.

  • Contingent workers.

  • People of interest (POIs) with jobs.

  • People of interest (POIs) without jobs.

    Note:

    The data of people of interest without jobs is secured differently from the data of people with jobs.

• Recruiting job openings.

• Departments.

  Note:

  Row security for departments secures department budgets and positions, if you are using Manage Positions. The Departments component is not secured by data permission so control access to department definitions by restricting access to the component or change the search record to DEPT_SEC_SRCH.
