Group Security
Absence Management utilizes HR Direct Reports security to grant managers access in order to request absence, view absence history, and view absence balances on behalf or direct reports. Time and Labor utilizes group security to grant managers and administrators access in order to report, approve, process and view time entries for a defined group of employees. If you are using Absence Management and Time and Labor self service applications, it is important to maintain consistency between setup of HR Direct Reports and Time and Labor's Group Security. This will provide consistency for managers when accessing the self service components in each application.
