Understanding Security

Security refers to the ability to restrict users from viewing or updating certain data or payees.

In Absence Management, there are two levels of security:

• Element-level security

  Restricts the elements that a user can view or update, based on the User Rules Profile page and the Used By, Owner, and Override Levels fields on the Element Name page.

• Payee-level security

  Restricts the payees that a user can view, based on the standard department-level security in PeopleSoft HR.

Note:

Absence Management can also use the group security feature in PeopleSoft Time and Labor.
